Abstract
The aim of the study is to identify the design principles for user interface required to increase the usability of research information systems and to develop the heuristics for the research information systems. For this purpose, a series of literature review was conducted to examine the user interface design principles for the research information systems, and the in-depth interview and participant observation were performed on the users of the systems and experts in the field of user interface to investigate the design principles and the interface factors for applying such principles in the systems. Based on the results, the heuristics of 86 items in 7 different dimensions were proposed.
