Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each journal 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.

The top authors publishing in Computer Supported Cooperative Work (based on the number of publications) are:

  • John C. Tang (5 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,
  • Meredith Ringel Morris (3 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Jonathan Grudin (3 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Douglas C. Engelbart (3 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Gina Venolia (3 papers) absent at the last edition.

The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

  • Delft University of Technology (1 papers) absent at the last edition.

The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.

Publication chance based on affiliation

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

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 2021 edition, 100.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, nan% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another nan% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included nan% of all publications and nan% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal 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 journal 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 in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, 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.

Opportunities for Future Research and Studies

CSCW fosters a rich variety of research topics in the field of computer-supported cooperative work. While the endeavor to study superior technologies never ceases, there is also an imminent need to focus on developing teaching methodologies in the field. This converges the interests of researchers and educators, extending the possibility for professionals in academia to delve into this study area.

An example of this innovative merging of fields can be seen with those who aspire how to become a middle school math teacher in Ohio. These prospective educators would be specifically interested in honing the skills pertaining to human-computer interaction and multimedia incorporated teaching methods. They will tremendously benefit from comprehensive research in these areas. Almost applying education in the field of technology, the academia must expand to nurture this growing need.

The future of CSCW hence doesn't solely lie in technological advancements but also in cultivating its practical applications in several areas, specifically education in this context. This elucidates the essential interconnectedness of academic research with educational advancement, making the endeavour mutually beneficial.
