Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each conference is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

Top authors and change over time

The top authors publishing at Human-Agent Interaction (based on the number of publications) are:

• Michita Imai (5 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition,

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions at the conference edition to all articles published within that conference. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the conference.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2018 edition, 2.90% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 43.28% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 23.88% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 28.36% of all publications and 4.48% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of conferences they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same conference from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the conference in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing at a conference. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a conference, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

• Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
• Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
• Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
• Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
• Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

The Importance of Participation from the Field of Education in Human-Agent Interaction Conferences

From the above data, we can clearly note the significant impact of cognitive psychology, and social psychology on the human-agent interaction field. In view of this, including relevant perspectives from the wider field of educational psychology could potentially extend the knowledge pool and add depth to these studies. The expertise of school psychologists, who deal with the application of principles of psychology to the learning and developmental processes of children and adolescents, could prove beneficial. They could provide valuable insights into our understanding of human-agent interactions, specifically in the context of humanoid robot-human interactions and how they can serve educational purposes. For example, given the increase of tech integration in classrooms, how can humanoid robots be used to foster more inclusive learning environments and facilitate a better understanding of science concepts? How can children with different learning abilities interact and learn from these humanoid robots or virtual actors? School psychologists can shed light on such arenas, thus enriching our research on human-agent interaction.

Developing interdisciplinary cross connections between technology and education can ensure a more holistic approach to human-agent interaction research, and school psychologists can play a pivotal role in this respect.
