What is the impact of human-computer interaction research on industry? While it is impossible to track all research impact pathways, the growing literature on translational research impact measurement offers patent citations as one measure of how industry recognizes and draws on research in its inventions. In this paper, we perform a large-scale measurement study primarily of 70,000 patent citations to premier HCI research venues, tracing how HCI research are cited in United States patents over the last 30 years. We observe that 20.1% of papers from these venues, including 60--80% of papers at UIST and 13% of papers in a broader dataset of SIGCHI-sponsored venues overall, are cited by patents -- far greater than premier venues in science overall (9.7%) and NLP (11%). However, the time lag between a patent and its paper citations is long (10.5 years) and getting longer, suggesting that HCI research and practice may not be efficiently connected.
翻译:人类-计算机互动研究对工业有何影响? 虽然无法跟踪所有研究影响路径。 越来越多的关于翻译研究影响计量的文献提供了专利引文,作为衡量工业如何认识和吸收其发明研究的一个尺度。 在本文中,我们进行了一项大规模测量研究,主要包括70,000份专利引文给主要HCI研究场所,追踪过去30年来美国专利中如何引用HCI研究。 我们观察到,20.1%来自这些场所的论文,包括UIST60-80%的论文和SIGCHI赞助的更广泛数据集中13%的论文,被专利引用,这比科学(9.7%)和NLP(11%)的首要场所要多得多。 然而,专利与其论文引文之间的时间间隔很长(10.5年),而且越来越长,这表明HCI的研究和实践可能无法有效地联系起来。
