Description: In recent years, various initiatives from within and outside the HCI field have encouraged researchers to improve research ethics, openness, and transparency in their empirical research. We quantify how the CHI literature might have changed in these three aspects by analyzing samples of CHI 2017 and CHI 2022 papers—randomly drawn and stratified across conference sessions. We operationalized research ethics, openness, and transparency into 45 criteria and manually annotated the sampled papers. We also explored the possibility of assisting the verification process by developing a proof-of-concept screening system. Kavous Salehzadeh Niksirat, Lahari Goswami, Pooja S. B.
