A formative usability study of workflow management systems in label-free digital pathology - Questionnaires

This repository holds the necessary questionnaires, participant data, interview questions and data, as well as a descriptive Readme file that was used for our publication "A formative usability study of workflow management systems in label-free digital pathology" by Markus Jelonek et al. (2022), submitted to F1000Research. Abstract: We present a formative usability study that investigates the usability of different<br> workflow management systems in the field of biomedical data analysis. Specifically, we study a task in the field of so-called label-free digital pathology and investigate one graphical user interface based workflow and one script-based workflow to solve the task. Our main intention is to gain first insights into the systematic study of usability in the context of biomedical image analysis, and formulate experiences and guidelines for future usability studies dealing with workflow management systems. Embedded in a specific setup dealing with label-free digital pathology, the core question behind our contribution is how usability studies for scientific workflow management can be conducted, and how they can be used systematically to improve such tools. Further, we address specific questions about the resource utilisation and management of usability studies, including the recruitment of participants as well as the design of specific workflows to be investigated.
