Revision

[lucselmes]

Revisions are operations of deletions or insertions in writing. A deletion is defined as the removal of any stretch of characters from a text whereas an insertion refers to a sequence of activities to add characters to a growing text (except the end). Below are some commonly used revision measures:

• number of deletions (in total or per minute)
• number of insertions (in total or per minute)
• length of deletions (in characters)
• length of insertions (in characters)
• proportion of deletions (as a % of total writing time)
• proportion of insertions (as a % of total writing time)
• product vs. process ratio (The number of characters in the product divided by the number of characters produced during the writing process)
• number/length of revisions at the point of inscription (i.e., at the current end of a text being produced)
• number/length of revisions after the text has been transcribed (i.e., at a previous point in the text)
• number of immediate revisions (the distance between the position of the flashing cursor and the revision point equal to zero)
• number of distant revisions (the distance between the position of the flashing cursor and the revision point larger than zero)
