A little respect: four case studies of HCI’s disregard for other disciplines (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Marshall, J., Linehan, C., Spence, J., & Rennick-Egglestone, S. (2017). A little respect: four case studies of HCI’s disregard for other disciplines.

HCI research often demonstrates lack of respect for other disciplines, evidenced by the way work from those disciplines are cited in CHI papers. We present 4 case studies that demonstrate; 1) that HCI researchers sometimes misunderstand and misrepres...

Throwaway citation of prior work creates risk of bad HCI research (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Marshall, J., Linehan, C., Spence, J., & Rennick-Egglestone, S. (2017). Throwaway citation of prior work creates risk of bad HCI research.

In CHI papers, citation of previous work is typically a shallow, throwaway action that demonstrates little critical engagement with the work cited. We present a citation context analysis of over 3000 citations from 69 papers at CHI2016, which demonst... Read More about Throwaway citation of prior work creates risk of bad HCI research.

Journal Article
Kraus, N., Escardo, M., Coquand, T., & Altenkirch, T. (in press). Notions of anonymous existence in Martin-Löf type theory. Logical Methods in Computer Science, 13(1),

As the groupoid model of Hofmann and Streicher proves, identity proofs in intensional Martin-L\"of type theory cannot generally be shown to be unique. Inspired by a theorem by Hedberg, we give some simple characterizations of types that do have uniqu... Read More about Notions of anonymous existence in Martin-Löf type theory.
