A study of the evolution of the HCI community is described based on information extracted from leading HCI journals. The study includes a traditional author co-citation analysis and a progressive domain visualization of a co-authorship network of 3,620 authors and a 1,038-node hybrid network of topical terms and cited articles. Emerging trends and prominent patterns of these networks are identified and compared with an existing survey of the field. The study contributes to the understanding of HCI at a macroscopic level as well as to the improvement of methodological implications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
