RepliCHI: the workshop II

Abstract

The replication or recreation of research is a core part of many disciplines. Yet unlike many other disciplines, like medicine, physics, or mathematics, we have almost no drive and barely any reason to consider investigating the work of other HCI researchers. Our community is driven to publish novel results in novel spaces using novel designs, and to keep up with evolving technology. Further, our community contains a broad spectrum of research styles, from those that would aim to investigate cultural phenomenon observed with ethnographic measures, to those who would validate or refute prior work with experimental methods. The aim of this workshop is to continue to facilitate a cultural shift towards our community naturally adopting replication techniques in situations that are considered worth investigating.
