Sentence spacing studies
Sentence spacing studies analyse the effects of sentence spacing techniques on the readability of text. The only direct scientific studies have been conducted by researchers from the University of Georgia, for on-screen text. There are currently no direct sentence spacing studies for printed text.
The direct studies, started in 2002, analysed single, double, and triple sentence spacing to determine what was most readable on screen. The researchers concluded that their tests did not show a statistically significant difference between the various techniques, but that further testing was needed.
==Effects on readability and legibility==
Claims abound regarding the legibility and readability of the single and double sentence-spacing methods—by proponents on both sides. However, typographic opinions are typically anecdotal with no basis in evidence.〔Wheildon 1995. p. 13.〕 According to Miles Tinker, "Opinions are not always safe guides to legibility of print,"〔Tinker 1963. p. 50.〕 and when direct studies are conducted, anecdotal opinions—even those of experts—can turn out to be false.〔Tinker 1963. pp. 88, 108, 127, 128, 153; Wheildon 1995. pp. 8, 35.〕 For example, text that seems readable at first glance may be shown to impair reading effectiveness when subjected to scientific study.〔Tinker 1963. pp. 50, 108, 128. A useful example is the Helvetica font, an ubiquitous font that is considered extremely legible (visually pleasing in the construction and viewing of its characters), but has been found to impair reading effectiveness (readability). See Squire 2006. p. 36.〕
