ABSTRACT
This paper responds to a 2014 paper by Liu et al seeking a quantifiable thematic core to CHI. As an alternative, I argue that CHI should strategically avoid the search for such a core, instead seeking its identity as a mode of responding and contributing to other disciplines.

Research Collaborations in Multidisciplinary Institutions: a Case Study of iSchools
WWW '16 Companion: Proceedings of the 25th International Conference Companion on World Wide WebAlthough closely related, multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity are different. The former indicates the co-existence of multiple disciplines while the latter is more about the integration among various areas. As collaboration between researchers ...
Internationalisation, innovation, and academic–corporate co-publications
AbstractResearch policy often asks for international academic collaboration or collaborations between universities and other actors in society. To improve the understanding of such collaborations, a systematic analysis of academic–corporate co-...
