I've been so looking forward to a #subtitling process study. Let's see what pros actually do while on the job. Thanks David Orrego Carmona, Łukasz Dutka and Agnieszka Szarkowska http://www.jostrans.org/issue30/art_orrego-carmona_et_al.pdf
It seems that my expectations were too high. Conclusions are more about the research method itself than actual/reliable findings on differences between pros vs trainees or different software. Too few participants, too short clip (86 secs) to be subtitled.
Of course it is very difficult to conduct research with such few resources (probably human resources in this case, as eyetracking and other tools were available). The only way forward is with funded research involving a large team and with institutional backing.
In any case, the methodology seems rigorous (despite the small sample) and hopefully there's more to come.
And I just realized this was my #1000tweet
