Question 4

Where is Human-Computer Interaction research done?

Accepted Answer

The largest centres of Human-Computer Interaction research in 2022-now are Beijing (China), Tokyo (Japan), Shanghai (China) and Seoul (South Korea). Among places with at least 20 works in it, it is an unusually large share of all research in Marina del Rey, Wels and Rovaniemi.

Question 5

Where is the best place to study Human-Computer Interaction?

Accepted Answer

Among universities, judged by research, Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University and University of Washington score highest, combining standing in the field's ranking, citation excellence, specialisation, size, growth and international reach. Research strength is one signal when choosing where to study; it does not measure teaching.
