'In a dynamic field such as HCI/user experience studies, there is seldom time to stop and think about the wider research enterprise. John Long's book will be an invaluable resource and stimulus to encourage researchers to think more deeply about what they are doing and how they are doing it.' Philip Barnard, Honorary Member, MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, Cambridge University
'Written by one of the founders of British HCI, this book is a call to action for a more rigorous, unified and cumulative discipline. In doing so, John Long equips the next generation of HCI researchers with the conceptual tools they will need to ensure the future of the field is in good hands.' Abigail Sellen, Microsoft Research
'This insightful book presents a General Framework to discuss and assess specific HCI research frameworks. This unavoidable debate is necessary to enable the HCI research community to progress and develop into a mature discipline. This fundamental book is written in a very concise and fair manner. I strongly recommend reading this book and learn from one of the best.' Matthias Rauterberg, Eindhoven University of Technology
