C17: Bibliometric Analysis and Systematic Review in HCI

Back to Courses' Program

Tuesday, 24 June 2025, 13:30 - 17:30 CEST (Central European Summer Time - Sweden)

Vincent G. Duffy (short bio)
Purdue University, USA

Modality

on-line

Target Audience

Researchers interested in gaining faster and more efficient grasp of key elements of new and emerging areas with growing amount of HCI-related literature.

Abstract

The process for learning achieve a fast path to learning methods for bibliometric analysis and leveraging metadata when preparing systematic review will be shared. Participants will learn how and gain confidence in their own research.  Attendees will have opportunity to participate in demonstrations and consider strategic use based on recent experience and published examples.  Results of student polls will be shared to give perspective for how students have viewed the methods during graduate studies. Examples for how students applied these methods to systematically manage the steps in bibliometric studies will be highlighted. All of the examples shared will emphasize the process and outcomes that led to published work.  A bibliometric analysis can help justify the articles selected for a more in depth analysis that can be part of the reappraisal in an emerging area. A mix of data mining and AI tools will be shown. Also tools for organizing larger sets of articles will be introduced. Brief demonstrations will include: Harzing's analysis, Vicinitas, Bibliometrix, Google NGram, ResearchGate, VOS Viewer, CiteSpace, BibExcel and nVivo.  Methods will be outlined throughout. The methods have been shown to help researchers at various levels of experience and across various academic areas and application domains.  One emphasis in the course will be on developing informed view of research in emerging areas. Another emphasis will be on supporting early career researchers, including faculty, Post doc and graduate students. These methods are especially important for those who have unique or keen areas of interest, but where they may not have as much experience. The course will also introduce and address sample research questions that can be explored using bibliometric and bibliographic trends.  Examples of the development of future work sections will also be emphasized.  Steps in the process for developing systematic reviews for subtopics of interest within HCI, human factors and ergonomics will be demonstrated during the course.  Additional resources will be referred that participants in the course can take with them or be aware of how to use on their own after the course is finished. 

Benefits for attendees

Attendees will have opportunity to participate in demonstrations and discover emerging areas of interest related to human-computer interaction and human-automation interaction.

Objectives

Introduce various forms of bibliometric and content analysis to guide strategic use and an informed reappraisal of an emerging area of attendees’ interest.

Course Content

The framework of the Course will be based on a successful model used to cooperatively develop three recent books related to human-automation interaction in mobile computing, transportation and manufacturing, services and user experience. Attendees will have opportunity to participate in demonstrations and consider strategic use based on recent experience and published examples. Brief demonstrations will include: Harzing's analysis, Vicinitas, Bibliometrix, Google NGram, ResearchGate, VOS Viewer, CiteSpace, BibExcel and nVivo.

Bio Sketch of Course instructor

Vincent G. Duffy is Professor of Industrial Engineering and Agricultural & Biological Engineering at Purdue University. He has served as a faculty member at Purdue since 2005 and previously as a faculty member The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. He is a Fellow in the UK Ergonomics Society (CIEHF) Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors in the United Kingdom. Dr. Duffy’s research in perception-based empirical model development in virtual and real environments has contributed to improved safety in design. Some of the research led to the development of a test bed that had virtual reality integrated with live motion capture and leadership in the Digital Human Modeling community. Vincent was a Fulbright Senior Scholar.  He was a regular reviewer for the National Academies’ Research Associateship Programs and a frequent reviewer for the Fulbright program.
