Analyses and Datasets

The Mack paper presents analyses of two accessibility paper datasets drawn from CHI and ASSETS:

  1. Study 1: A qualitative analysis of accessibility papers from 2010-2019 (N=506 papers).
  2. Study 2: A larger programmatic analysis of the last 26-years of accessibility papers—since the founding of ASSETS (N=836 papers)

Study 1

To analyze the 506 accessibility papers from 2010-2019 at CHI and ASSETS, we used an iterative process to develop and apply a codebook. See Sections 3.1.1 and 3.2.1 and Sections 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 of the Mack et al. paper.

Study 2

For the second analysis, we built on the 506 papers above by adding all 285 ASSETS papers and 45 CHI accessibility papers that appeared in 1994-2009, for a total of 836 papers over the 26-year period. See Sections 3.1.2, 3.2.2, and 4.4 for details.
