TLDR
A survey of existing hypertext systems, their applications, and their design is both an introduction to the world of hypertext and a survey of some of the most important design issues that go into fashioning a hypertext environment.Abstract:
This article is a survey of existing hypertext systems, their applications, and their design. It is both an introduction to the world of hypertext and, at a deeper cut, a survey of some of the most important design issues that go into fashioning a hypertext environment. The concept of hypertext is quite simple: Windows on the screen are associated with objects in a database, and links are provided between these objects, both graphically (as labelled tokens) and in the database (as pointers). But this simple idea is creating much excitement. Several universities have created laboratories for research on hypertext, many articles have been written about the concept just within the last year, and the Smithsonian Institute has created a demonstration laboratory to develop and display hypertext technologies.read more

Expanding Hypertext: Does It Address Disorientation? Depends on Individuals' Adventurousness
TL;DR: Investigating how individuals' adventurousness influences their experience with different types of computer text formats and whether expanding hypertext, a new hybrid hypertext format, addresses the most frequently cited hypertext problem, disorientation finds participant adventurousness was found to interact with text format on participant feelings of dis orientation.

The effect of violating visual conventions of a website on user performance and disorientation: how bad can it be?
Luis Santa-Maria,Mary C. Dyson +1 more
TL;DR: Results showed that in the first part participants who used the violating site performed worse and were more disoriented than participants who use the conventional version, and in the second part performance and disorientation on both groups were equivalent suggesting that users might rapidly adapt to visual convention violations.
