title = "User testing with microinteractions",
abstract = "Enabling and supporting discoverability of research outputs and datasets are key functions of university and academic health center institutional repositories. Yet adoption rates among potential repository users are hampered by a number of factors, prominent among which are difficulties with basic usability. In their efforts to implement a local instance of InvenioRDM, a turnkey next generation repository, team members at Northwestern University's Galter Health Sciences Library & Learning Center supplemented agile development principles and methods and a user experience design-centered approach with observations of users' microinteractions (interactions with each part of the software's interface that requires human intervention). Microinteractions were observed through user testing sessions conducted in Fall 2019. The result has been a more user-informed development effort incorporating the experiences and viewpoints of a multidisciplinary team of researchers spanning multiple departments of a highly ranked research university.",

note = "Funding Information: The alpha release of InvenioRDM was completed by September 2019, meeting a deadline established by one of the project{\textquoteright}s key funders, the National Center for Data to Health (CD2H), through a grant funded by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS). This early alpha release enabled record creation and file upload, application of seven metadata elements (title, authors, description, resource type, subjects, visibility, and license), user authentication, search, faceting/filtering, and download of resources.
