ABSTRACT (Continue on .-e*vere side It necessary and identify by block number) Early efforts to produce decision aids, although they led to valuable research findings, did not succeed as field applications. Even when the targeted users agreed that the computer-aided decision process did improve deciaion making, these aids eventually fell into disuse when the personal support of the decision analysts was removed. User attitudes tended to be dominated by the short-range considertations of speed, convenlence, and simplicity of operation, rather than by the long-range factors such as methodological thoroughness and consi.stency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
