| Abstract | RepliCHI has evolved each year that we have been discussing the topic of replication, or recreation, of HCI research. This year we seek to open up a workshop for a second year, to see how the community understanding has evolved. The RepliCHI workshop proposed here is the culmination of four years of focused interest in the topic of replicating HCI research within the CHI community. Originating from a late-night debate at CHI2010, and after a CHI2011 panel, a CHI2012 SIG and the first workshop at CHI2013, we here propose to include a follow-on two-day workshop focused on a) learning more about people's experiences and b) running working-groups on proposed/planned replications. Holding this second workshop is a critical step towards letting replication, or recreation, mature into a natural role within our community, rather than leaving the past events as a flash in the pan. Introduction The replication of research is a topic of growing interest that has seen debate and even controversy in communities, including Psychology and Medicine. For the last three years at CHI, we too have begun to debate the ramifications of replication in HCI research, which has led to both very positive and very critical discourses. In the HCI community, and in particular for authors aiming to publish research at CHI, we have to continuously battle with the fast-paced technology that we study, and the overwhelming drive to publish novel findings, from novel research, in novel spaces, at one of the most competitive ACM conferences. This drive means that there is often little or no desire, or motivation, to look back at HCI research and consider if it was correct, is still true, or has been made redundant by the evolution of technology. The aim of the RepliCHI Copyright is held by the author/owner(s). community has been to consider: how can we motivate and facilitate the reason and opportunity for people to revisit HCI research? The RepliCHI Workshop has 3 key aims: 1) To provide a structured space where people can discuss replication and its challenges. 2) To test new ideas about how replications should presented and discussed in relation to original work and original authors. 3) New for 2014: To support people who plan to recreate other peoples work, with working-groups. Papers and Reviewing We intend to invite a) Experience Reports that describe experiences surrounding attempts to replicate HCI research and b) Replication Plans that describe serious … |
