 Human Computer Interaction Research
Through the Lens of a Bibliometric Analysis

 Abstract. Human Computing Interaction (HCI) is an expansive research field

that covers various disciplines from computer science and engineering to human

factors and social science. Navigating in this multidisciplinary field researchers

and developers intensively seek to master the capability to understand the dia-

logue between humans and computers, reflect on the behaviour change caused

by this interaction and encapsulate their knowledge to design, develop and

maintain systems. Our paper aims to put in context and highlight the research

done on the HCI field so far. To do so we choose a method that can provide a

well-carved piece of literature and assure legitimacy in the representation of the

research, i.e. a bibliometric analysis. Following this research path, we retrieved a

data set of 962 publications covering the period from 1969 to early 2017. The

analysis revealed a core set of forty-six articles structuring four main factors of

HCI. Preliminary analysis highlights HCI design aspects, data management, user

interaction, psychology and cognition and more recent trends in HCI in the

workplace, sensors and wearables.
