Human-Computer Interaction

Aims & Scope

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary journal defining and reporting on fundamental research in human-computer interaction.

The goal of HCI is to be a journal of the highest quality that combines the best research and design work to extend our understanding of human-computer interaction.

The target audience is the research community with an interest in both the scientific implications and practical relevance of how interactive computer systems should be designed and how they are actually used.

HCI is concerned with the theoretical, empirical, and methodological issues of interaction science and system design as it affects the user.
