“…Potential avenues for diversifying authorship have already been ongoing (e.g., SIGCHI's initiatives [59]). These efforts could be continued and extended by nurturing interactions and collaborations among researchers across countries, such as by (virtually) co-locating the CHI conference with SIGCHI In-Cooperation conferences (e.g., with Asian CHI [83], IndiaHCI [35], or CHIuXiD [17] in Indonesia and South-East Asia), by developing workshops that get together researchers from various countries and regions, or by continuing efforts like the open and scalable university laboratories as was done by Vaish et al [93]. In addition, it will be important to reduce barriers to publishing and attending CHI, such as by more frequently seeking conference locations in non-Western countries, which our data suggests may increase the number of submissions that include non-Western participant samples.…”

Computer technology is often designed in technology hubs in Western countries, invariably making it “WEIRD”, because it is based on the intuition, knowledge, and values of people who are Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic. Developing technology that is universally useful and engaging requires knowledge about members of WEIRD and non-WEIRD societies alike. In other words, it requires us, the CHI community, to generate this knowledge by studying representative participant samples. To find out to what extent CHI participant samples are from Western societies, we analyzed papers published in the CHI proceedings between 2016-2020. Our findings show that 73% of CHI study findings are based on Western participant samples, representing less than 12% of the world’s population. Furthermore, we show that most participant samples at CHI tend to come from industrialized, rich, and democratic countries with generally highly educated populations. Encouragingly, recent years have seen a slight increase in non-Western samples and those that include several countries. We discuss suggestions for further broadening the international representation of CHI participant samples.

“…These efforts have shown how to design, build, and study social computing systems at different scales using crowds of remote contributors. The focus has been on how to make design more accessible by coordinating large numbers of diverse volunteers in open-ended research [67].…”

<div>Developing collaborative and cooperative research across academic disciplines and university administrative boundaries can be a challenge. In an attempt to understand and propose solutions to this challenge, the authors of this paper set out to: test an innovative combination of methods to generate and evaluate ideas and strategies; and to write about the findings using collaborative online methods. During this process Universities in the UK moved to online working and so the authors completed this paper through entirely online means.</div><div>The authors - a team of academic researchers from the University of Wolverhampton - came together in sessions designed as a hybrid of World Café and Delphi technique approaches to discuss challenges and solutions. The findings were written up drawing on insights from the use of massively authored papers (also known as ‘massively open online papers’, MOOPs), and online tools to enable remote collaboration. This paper presents details of the process, the findings, and reflections on this collaborative and cooperative exercise. That this paper was written using the methods discussed within it, highlights the value and success of the approach.</div><div>In light of the current Coronavirus pandemic and the increased need to work remotely, this paper offers academics useful strategies for meaningful and productive online collaboration.</div>
