How People Write Together Now
Dakuo Wang · 2016
Collaborative writing has become increasingly common now. I revisit this research topic because both the tools and people's skills have changed. In my dissertation project, I use both qualitative and quantitative research methods to investigate how people write together now. I have also built information visualization systems to complement existing research methods. By understanding what practices and tools people use in collaborative writing, I propose design implications for system designers to improve the tools, as well as collaboration guidelines for people to write together better.
