Additional information

<20>The paper is being influential in a variety of studies of Expertise in the context of web search and web use more generally. For example, Dumais’s group at Microsoft Research has developed and elaborated our analysis of expert-novice differences in the structure of queries (White et al, 2009, ACM Conf. Web Search and Data Mining), and Zhang et al (2011, ACM SIGIR Conf.) have shown that query length (an effect we stressed) can be used to infer expertise from search records. The CHI conference has a rejection rate around 80% and is the leading conference in HCI.
