    Abstract
    This article reports on a study that aimed at simplifying a search task difficulty reason scheme. Liu, Kim, and Creel (2015) (denoted LKC15) developed a 21-item search task difficulty reason scheme using a controlled laboratory experiment. The current study simplified the scheme through another experiment that followed the same design as LKC15 and involved 32 university students. The study had one added questionnaire item that provided a list of the 21 difficulty reasons in the multiple-choice format. By comparing the current study with LKC15, a concept of primary top difficulty reasons was proposed, which reasonably simplified the 21-item scheme to an 8-item top reason list. This limited number of reasons is more manageable and makes it feasible for search systems to predict task difficulty reasons from observable user behaviors, which builds the basis for systems to improve user satisfaction based on predicted search difficulty reasons.

    Abstract
    The purpose of this study is to examine whether the understandings of subject-indexing processes conducted by human indexers have a positive impact on the effectiveness of automatic subject term assignment through text categorization (TC). More specifically, human indexers' subject-indexing approaches, or conceptions, in conjunction with semantic sources were explored in the context of a typical scientific journal article dataset. Based on the premise that subject indexing approaches or conceptions with semantic sources are important for automatic subject term assignment through TC, this study proposed an indexing conception-based framework. For the purpose of this study, two research questions were explored: To what extent are semantic sources effective? To what extent are indexing conceptions effective? The experiments were conducted using a Support Vector Machine implementation in WEKA (I.H. Witten & E. Frank, [2000]). Using F-measure, the experiment results showed that cited works, source title, and title were as effective as the full text while a keyword was found more effective than the full text. In addition, the findings showed that an indexing conception-based framework was more effective than the full text. The content-oriented and the document-oriented indexing approaches especially were found more effective than the full text. Among three indexing conception-based approaches, the content-oriented approach and the document-oriented approach were more effective than the domain-oriented approach. In other words, in the context of a typical scientific journal article dataset, the objective contents and authors' intentions were more desirable for automatic subject term assignment via TC than the possible users' needs. The findings of this study support that incorporation of human indexers' indexing approaches or conception in conjunction with semantic sources has a positive impact on the effectiveness of automatic subject term assignment.
