	NBS: Navigation Research
		This paper explores the implications of rudimentary requirements for effective view navigation, namely that, despite the vastness of an information structure, the views must be small, moving around must not take too many steps and the route to any target be must be discoverable.
		Navigation is a limited metaphor for hypermedia and website use that potentially constrains our understanding of human-computer interaction.
		In the present paper we trace the emergence of the navigation metaphor and the empirical analysis of navigation measures in usability evaluation before suggesting an alternative concept to consider: shape.

	Comparison Between Left- and Right-justified Site Navigation Menus: Kalbach and Bosenick: JoDI (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Researchers at IBM speculate that users are comfortable and familiar with this arrangement and, according to their own studies, a left navigation performs well.
		From the group that was shown the prototype with the right-justified navigation (Group 1), 22% (7 from 32) explicitly expressed their liking of the right-hand navigation when asked, while less than 6% of the participants (2 from 32) expressed a dislike for the right-hand navigation.
		Perception research shows that such "pre-attentive" processing occurs in such a way that the interpretation of a display is given by the design itself rather than by the viewer's prior knowledge or expectations (Bruce and Green 1990; Wade and Swanston 1991).

	NIH Guide: PATIENT NAVIGATION RESEARCH PROGRAM
		Objective and Scope The objective of this RFA is to invite research applications for cooperative agreements to develop and implement structured patient navigation interventions in community areas with an adequate number of cancer patients to answer primary and secondary research questions and hypotheses proposed in the application.
		Through community and hospital partnerships and collaborations, the patient navigator project should then be capable of sustaining the infrastructure required to overcome the unique barriers to cancer care experienced by the targeted populations in their community.
		All investigators proposing research involving human subjects should read the "NIH Policy and Guidelines" on the inclusion of children as participants in research involving human subjects that is available at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/children/children.htm.

	NCI's Patient Navigator Research Program - National Cancer Institute
		A navigator is someone who understands the patient's fears and hopes, and who removes barriers to effective care by coordinating services, increasing a cancer patient's chances for survival and quality of life.
		If navigators get involved early enough after a person has received a cancer diagnosis, they can help steer patients and their families to appropriate care and treatment that could dramatically improve patients' chances of getting the best care and have an opportunity to live with cancer as a manageable disease.
		By navigating patients around barriers to quality care, patient navigators actually help ensure that cancer patients are not shortchanged in their options and their care.

	Oliver Brock : Research : Mobile Navigation
		The global path planner is based on the navigation function NF1 by Barraquand and Latombe.
		The navigation function is not computed for the entire world, but only for those regions required (see red gradient in the figure).
		Each time the local execution method chooses a motion command, those commands moving along the gradient of the navigation function are preferred.

	Navigation design (User experience design resources)
		Navigation is a human interaction matter, human beings with all their issues and problems need and use it.
		Five categories of revisitation research are involved: 1) Characterisations of user behavior; 2) System models of navigation and their impact on the user's understanding; 3) Interface methods for increasing the efficiency of the Back button; 4) Alternative system models for navigation; and 5) Alternative methods for presenting web navigation histories.
		Based on an analysis of the goals of information seeking research, and a view on human task performance augmentation, it is then shown that information seeking is intimately associated with, and dependent on, other aspects of work; tasks and technology included.

	Cognitive Navigation: Toward a biological basis for instructional design (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Learning is like navigation in space. Human declarative learning has a spatial navigation basis. The evidence for this comes from animal navigation research and human brain studies. The two forms of navigation correspond to two forms of declarative memory and this has implications for instructional design.
		The experimental study of the hippocampus and navigation in humans is limited by practical and ethical problems. First, the human hippocampus is located in a region of the brain that is not easily accessed. Second, researchers obviously cannot deliberately damage a human brain in order to determine its functions.
		Navigating between buildings and the world may be inconvenient. In such a case, the disadvantages of the spatial metaphor can outweigh the advantages.

	Web Usability - Source Order, Skip links and Structural labels
		I would expect the site navigation to the main areas to be presented first, followed by the local navigation within that area, and then the information content.
		Following our research, we feel that the order of the material on a web page is likely to be of little importance to most screen reader users.
		It is our view, that a continuation of the practice of placing navigation before the content of the page will benefit some screen reader users, in particular those users who are still developing their skills with the technology.

		New research for the first time shows through systematic brain imaging tests on London taxi drivers that a human's ability to remember the route to a destination requires the right hippocampus of the brain.
		In the study, the researchers analyzed spatial navigation by imaging the brains of 11 taxi drivers with positron emission tomography (PET).
		In future studies, the researchers plan to investigate further the specific operations the right hippocampus performs during navigation.

		'Notice that I don't say, "Keep navigation changes subtle" because that includes the possibility that it not be changed at all, which may be a disadvantage to revealing connections among concepts.
		Lombardi then turns his attention to how it is possible to design using research guidelines effectively.
		To the paranoid among us I say we are far from the point where navigation design can be automated; there are still many decisions for which we have no research and at which designers must use their experience to improvise a solution.
