Purpose: Some universal accessibility practitioners have voiced that they experience a mismatch in the research focus and the need for knowledge within specialized problem domains. This study thus set out to identify the balance of research into the main areas of accessibility, the impact of this research, and how the research profile varies over time and across geographical regions. Method: All UAIS papers indexed in Scopus were analysed using bibliometric methods. The WCAG taxonomy of accessibility was used for the analysis, namely perceivable, operable, and understandable. Results: The results confirm the expectation that research into visual impairment has received more attention than papers addressing operable and understandable. Although papers focussing on understandable made up the smallest group, papers in this group attracted more citations. Funded research attracted fewer citations than research without funding. The breakdown of research efforts appears consistent over time and across different geographical regions. Researchers in Europe and North America have been active throughout the last two decades, while Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Middle East became active in during the last five years. There is also seemingly a growing trend of out-of-scope papers. Conclusions: Based on the findings, several recommendations are proposed to the UAIS editorial board.

“…The results also provide information about the number of citations received from patents, which can be particularly helpful for discovering breakthrough scientific papers. 19.71% of the papers had no citations, which indicates a tendency of maturity representing the quality presented by authors in comparison with other venues (e.g., [27]). If we look closer at the results, 2001 represents the year with the lowest number of publications that were never cited.…”

“…The authors concluded that the venues have distinct programmes and publication rates although the presence of overlapping topics over time. Other HCI-devoted venues that have been appraised using scientometric analysis techniques include but are not limited to the Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computing Systems (IHC) [17], the Indian Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (IndiaHCI) [18], the New Zealand Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (CHINZ) [19], the Australian Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (OzCHI) [20], the ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) [21], and the International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction (HAI) [22].…”

2021 IEEE 24th International Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work in Design (CSCWD)

It has been a quarter of a century since the publication of the first edition of the IEEE International Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work in Design (CSCWD) held in 1996 in Beijing, China. Despite some attempts to empirically examine the evolution and identity of the field of CSCW and its related communities and disciplines, the scarcity of scientometric studies on the IEEE CSCWD research productivity is noteworthy. To fill this gap, this study reports on an exploratory quantitative analysis of the literature published in the IEEE CSCWD conference proceedings with the purpose of visualizing and understanding its structure and evolution for the 2001-2019 period. The findings offer valuable insights into the paper and author distribution, country and citation-level productivity indicators, degree of collaboration, and collaboration index. Through this analysis we also expect to get an initial overview of the IEEE CSCWD conference concerning the main topics being presented, most cited papers, and variances in the number of keywords, full-text views, and references.

“…HCI research has been studied in several regional contexts such as India (Gupta, 2015;Kumar, 2013), Brazil (Barbosa et al, 2017;Paschoarelli et al, 2015), Australia (Mubin et al, 2017), New Zealand (Nichols & Cunningham, 2015), Britain (Padilla et al, 2014a(Padilla et al, , 2014b, and Asia (Sakamoto, 2015). Other geographic regions have received less attention including the Nordic and the Baltic regions.…”

A bibliometric study of human–computer interaction research activity in the Nordic-Baltic Eight countries

Human–computer interaction (HCI) has become an important area for designers and developers worldwide, and research activities set in national cultural contexts addressing local challenges are often needed in industry and academia. This study explored HCI research in the Nordic-Baltic countries using bibliometric methods. The results show that the activity varies greatly across the region with activities dominated by Finland, Sweden, and Denmark, even when adjusting for differences in population size and GDP. Research output variations were larger for the top-tier conferences compared to entry-tier conferences and journals. Locally hosted conferences were associated with local increases in research activity. HCI research longevity appears to be an indicator of research maturity and quantity. HCI researchers typically collaborated either with colleagues within the same institution or with researchers from countries outside the Nordic-Baltic region such as US and the UK. There was less collaboration between national and Nordic-Baltic partners. Collaboration appeared especially prevalent for top-tier conference papers. Top-tier conference papers were also more frequently cited than regional-tier and entry-tier conferences, yet journal articles were cited the most. One implication of this study is that the HCI research activity gaps across the Nordic-Baltic countries should be narrowed by increasing the activity in countries with low research outputs. To achieve this, first-time authors could receive guidance through collaborations with experienced authors in the same institution or other labs around the world. More conferences could also be hosted locally. Furthermore, journals may be more effective than conferences if the goal is to accumulate citations.
