Recounting the History of User Interface Research through Publication Titles

Published: 18 November 2015 Publication History

Abstract

The availability of access to full collections of academic publications allows the scrutiny of the interest on particular topics through time by examining the titles and metadata of such publications. Using basic text mining techniques, it is possible to identify when attention on a subject raised, peaked or declined. Deeper analysis can point to topic substitution or the switch of attention from one subject to others. In this work we use basic analysis to examine how the study of user interfaces has evolved through time by examining the titles in the Digital Library of ACM and the results provided by Google Scholar search engine.
