Abstract

We explore the influences of creating social tags for academic papers by novice users over time. The study uses diaries and interviews to elicit subjects’ influences of tag choices of academic papers through document, social and personal factors. Themes that emerged include documents usage, document attributes, social ties, opinion expression and organizing strategies.
