Observing writing: Insights from Keystroke Logging and Handwriting is a timely volume appearing twelve years after the
Studies in Writing volume
Computer Keystroke Logging and Writing (Sullivan & Lindgren, 2006). The 2006 volume provided the reader with a fundamental account of keystroke logging, a methodology in which a piece of software records every keystroke, cursor and mouse movement a writer undertakes during a writing session. This new volume highlights current theoretical and applied research questions in keystroke logging and handwriting research that observes writing. In this volume, contributors from a range of disciplines, including linguistics, psychology, neuroscience, modern languages, and education, present their research that considers the cognitive and socio-cultural complexities of writing texts in academic and professional settings.
Eva Lindgren, Ph.D. (2005), Umeå University, Sweden is Professor in Language Teaching and Learning specializing in computer keystroke logging, and writing in multilingual and Indigenous contexts. She has published widely on these topics and other aspects of language teaching and learning.
Kirk P.H. Sullivan, Ph.D. (1992), Southampton University, Ed.D. (2010), Bristol University, is Professor of Linguistics at Umeå University, Sweden. He has published many articles on Indigenous writing, computer keystroke logging, and other aspects of educational linguistics.

"Overall, these concluding notes, as well as the book as a whole, show great potential of development for what has proven to be a fast-growing, exciting area of research."
