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

Searching through cyberspace: the effects of link display and link density on information retrieval from hypertext on the World Wide Web
Kushal Khan,Craig Locatis +1 more
TL;DR: Significant main and interaction effects were found for both link density and display format on search performance, and low link densities displayed in list format produced the best overall results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Signaling in expository hypertexts compensates for deficits in reading skill
TL;DR: The authors found that hypertexts with hypertext-specific signals particularly support learners with badly routinized reading skills in organizing and integrating complex learning materials, while a lack of signals led to less efficient navigation behavior.
