UX Report: DataONE Public Website Usability Issues – Internal Report

The Usability and Assessment Working Group (U&A WG) conducted an internal evaluation of the DataONE public website (www.dataone.org). The purpose of the evaluation was to assess the usability of the website regarding the interface design, information content, and information organization. The website was reviewed by 1) a group of 4 experts in Elsevier User Centered Design Group, 2) one U&A WG member from U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and 3) three U&A WG members from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK). Each person did an independent analysis and the results were then synthesized into a single report.
