The use of keystroke logging in writing research"

The use of digital technology in writing has not only changed the way in which we produce texts, but these new technologies also created new possibilities for writing researchers to investigate writing as it unfolds in real time. Keystroke logging enables researchers to collect very fine grained online data in a continuous and non-obtrusive way, without interrupting the activity underway or increasing cognitive load. In this presentation we illustrate and discuss the use of keystroke logging tools in writing process research. We will present the use of this kind of data from different perspectives, including, for example, pausing, revising, and fluency in composing.
