| In Search of Coherence: A Review of Email Research
|
Nicolas Ducheneaut and Leon A Watts
|
Human-Computer Interaction, Volume 20, Issue 1+2: 11-48, 2005 |
Ducheneaut and Watts present a detailed review of email research, identifying
three major metaphors that have guided past research. They argue that email has
variously been regarded as: a filing cabinet - leading research to focus on
questions about how people manage and access email archives; a production line
- where the central questions concern how people collaborate with others to
accomplish work tasks; and a communication genre - addressing issues about how
email is used in organizational settings to carry out group work. They conclude
by attempting to draw these three threads together in a generative design
framework focused on communicative, individual and socio-organizational
factors.
