Abstract

This study presents a structured approach based on results obtained with the application of usability assessments of websites belonging to the journal Boletim de Ciências Geodesicas (BCG), BCG has two websites for communication with authors and readers, one is part of Scielo and another belongs to the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR), which maintains websites for all its journals, including BCG. The hypothesis established for the study was that different results are obtained with the application of usability assessments on both sites. The aim of the study was to evaluate the usability of the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) SciELO digital library website and the UFPR website. The results of the study made it possible to verify divergences to meet the navigation and interaction requirements of users who accessed and interacted with the different sites. The study showed that both sites had usability flaws, however the site with the biggest usability problems was SciELO compared to the site maintained by UFPR.
