Human-System Interaction in a Digital Environment — the Effect of Microcopy to User Action
Publications
You will soon find references to various publications that have been published during the project and after the project has ended. The publications will include scientific papers, master theses, conference paper abstracts, and texts aimed at the general public. At the moment, the publications list is empty, as the first year of the project (01.01.2024–31.12.2024) has been dedicated in gathering, compiling and tagging the corpus data. We will begin analysing the data and publishing our first findings in the second year of the project (2025).
