- A hypertext by Stephen R. Acker,
from the communication department of Ohio State University, that argues:
Collaboration, greatly facilitated by advanced telecommunication networks,
has become a dominant mode of conducting academic work. However, when collaborators
meet in both physical and "electronic" spaces there are a number of unexamined
costs that go with the efficiency and inclusiveness made possible by easy
telecommunication-based exchanges. This article asks collaborators to be
sensitive to the role that physical space plays in creative human endeavors,
and to consider the impact on work accomplished in merged electronic and
physical work environments.

Paper
- A 1995 essay by Stuart Moulthrop
which declares: Hypertext should be an ideal tool for the association of
ideas in professional discourse; but the simplistic concept of linking in
the present World Wide Web does not deliver on this promise. To remedy this
situation we propose the citescape, a mechanism for representing within
a document links leading to it from later documents.
