Towards Sustainable Research Data Management in Human-Computer Interaction

Abstract

We discuss important aspects of HCI research regarding Research Data Management (RDM) to achieve better publication processes and higher reuse of HCI research results. Various context elements of RDM for HCI are discussed, including examples of existing and emerging infrastructures for RDM. We briefly discuss existing approaches and come up with additional aspects which need to be addressed. This is to apply the so-called FAIR principle fully, which -- besides being findable and accessible -- also includes interoperability and reusability. We also discuss briefly the kind of research data types that play a role here and propose to build on existing work and involve the HCI scientific community to improve current practices.
