T. Alan Keahey and Julianne Marley. Viewing text with non-linear magnification: An experimental study. Technical Report 459, Department of Computer Science, Indiana University, April 1996.

Abstract:
This paper presents the results of an experimental study in which users were given the task of reading and searching text files with both a paging viewer and a ``magnifying'' viewer which allows the entire file to fit on a single screen, with a bar of magnification which can be used to make portions readable. A comparison is made between the two different viewers on two different types of text layout, one highly structured, and the other with little structure. Results indicate a suitability for using the magnifying browser on structured text.
