The findings have implications for the automatic identification of domain experts from interaction logs, and the use of domain knowledge in applications such as query suggestion or page recommendation to support non-experts.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/how-medical-expertise-influences-web-search-interaction/}, pages = {791-792}, edition = {SIGIR 2008 (poster)}, }
