Abstract:
The primary purpose of the study was to identify motivations for
hyperlinking in scholarly electronic articles. Fifteen Indiana University
faculty and graduate students who had published at least one scholarly
electronic article containing at least one external hyperlink were surveyed.
Through a series of qualitative interviews, 19 different hyperlinking
motivations, classified into the three motivational groups-scholarly,
social, and technological-along the dimensional ranges of their properties,
were identified. The vast majority of the hyperlinks were attributed to more
than one motivation by the authors. The empirical findings of the study
demonstrated that scholars use hyperlinks for a variety of purposes, and
that their hyperlinking behavior frequently results from a complex interplay
of motivations.
