Abstract
Data entry concerns input of any data items for computer processing. Data entry interfaces are the part of computer systems with which end users spend most of their time. These interfaces are also one of the most error-prone parts of computer systems and have given rise to the acronym GIGO (Garbage In Garbage Out). The design of good data entry interfaces should aim to prevent GIGO and make data entry as efficient and pleasant as possible for the user.
