Abstract

This paper observes the development of human-computer interaction as a research discipline from 1991 to 1993. From a citation analysis of three volumes of three journals, the field of human computer interaction is identified as emerging from a supporting base of four fields: computer science, information systems, psychology, and human factors/ ergonomics. Results of this analysis support the proposition that human-computer interaction is emerging as a distinct field of study.
