当阅读生物科学期刊文章时，许多研究人员将注意力集中在数字及其标题上。这一观察导致了BioText文献搜索引擎的发展，这是一个免费的基于Web的应用程序，允许生物学家搜索开放获取期刊的内容，并直接在搜索结果中显示文章中的数字。本文提出了一个定性的评估，该系统的可用性研究的形式与20个生物学家参与使用和评论该系统。20名参与者中有19名表示希望使用生物科学文献搜索引擎，该搜索引擎将文章的数字与全文搜索结果一起显示。20名参与者中有15人表示他们经常或有时会使用字幕搜索和图形显示界面，而4人表示很少，1人表示尚未决定。20名参与者中有10人表示，他们经常或有时会使用一种工具来搜索表格的文本及其标题，而7人表示他们很少使用它，2人表示他们永远不会使用它，1人尚未决定。这项研究发现了支持早期研究结果的证据，即生物科学文献搜索系统（如PubMed）应该在搜索结果旁边显示文章中的数字。它还发现了全文和标题应与文章标题、元数据和摘要一起沿着搜索的证据。最后，对于用户和信息需求的子集，允许在图片和表格的标题内进行显式搜索是一个有用的功能，但如何将其干净地集成到更通用的文献搜索界面中尚不完全清楚。这种设施支持开放近用出版工作，因为它要求获得文件的全文并取消限制，以便在搜索界面中显示数字。
When reading bioscience journal articles, many researchers focus attention on the figures and their captions. This observation led to the development of the BioText literature search engine, a freely available Web-based application that allows biologists to search over the contents of Open Access Journals, and see figures from the articles displayed directly in the search results. This article presents a qualitative assessment of this system in the form of a usability study with 20 biologist participants using and commenting on the system. 19 out of 20 participants expressed a desire to use a bioscience literature search engine that displays articles' figures alongside the full text search results. 15 out of 20 participants said they would use a caption search and figure display interface either frequently or sometimes, while 4 said rarely and 1 said undecided. 10 out of 20 participants said they would use a tool for searching the text of tables and their captions either frequently or sometimes, while 7 said they would use it rarely if at all, 2 said they would never use it, and 1 was undecided. This study found evidence, supporting results of an earlier study, that bioscience literature search systems such as PubMed should show figures from articles alongside search results. It also found evidence that full text and captions should be searched along with the article title, metadata, and abstract. Finally, for a subset of users and information needs, allowing for explicit search within captions for figures and tables is a useful function, but it is not entirely clear how to cleanly integrate this within a more general literature search interface. Such a facility supports Open Access publishing efforts, as it requires access to full text of documents and the lifting of restrictions in order to show figures in the search interface.
