Abstract

We believe that the self-knowledge of a scientific community is important for its evolution and maturity. This paper analyzes bibliometric data of the Brazilian Symposia on Human Factors in Computing Systems (IHC). Our goal is to understand whether and how the IHC publications cite publications from IHC itself and by its authors (within and outside IHC). The citation profile of a given event enables reflections on the quality of its works, its focus areas of research, knowledge niches, collaboration profiles etc. The results point to the growth of the community and the evolution of its published research. However, the study also presents challenges that IHC researchers need to face to strengthen the community further. Some lessons learned point to actions the community may take to widen its visibility and recognition by its peers.
