Publisher’s note
‘‘Most Cited Paper Award’’ for the International Journal of Human–Computer Studies The Publisher presents the second annual ‘‘Most Cited Paper Award’’ for the International Journal of Human–Computer Studies. Our most cited paper award offers an alternative to committee-selected ‘‘best papers’’. The only objective and transparent metric that is highly correlated with the quality of a paper is the number of citations. We hope that the design of this most cited paper award will ensure fairness and equal opportunity for all authors published in the Journal. It is our hope that this award will stimulate the best minds to release their best work. Papers for this distinction are determined solely based on the highest number of cites, excluding self-citations, received for all journal articles published between the years 2005–2007 [data culled from SCOPUS reports (www.scopus.com) created on 15 January 2008]. The winning paper is ‘‘Computers that care: investigating the effects of orientation of emotion exhibited by an embodied computer agent’’, by Scott Brave, Clifford Nass, and Kevin Hutchinson, Int. J. Human–Computer Studies 62 (2005) 161–178. We congratulate Dr. Brave, Dr. Nass, and Kevin Hutchinson for this great achievement.
Scott Brave is a founder and CTO of Baynote, Inc. Prior to Baynote, he was a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University and served as lab manager for the Communication between Humans and Interactive Media (CHIMe) Lab. Scott is an inventor of six patents and co-author of over 25 publications in the areas of human–computer interaction and artificial intelligence. Scott is also a former Editor of the International Journal of Human–Computer Studies (Elsevier, Amsterdam) and co-author of Wired for Speech: How Voice Activates and Advances the Human–Computer Relationship (MIT Press, Cambridge, MA). Scott received his Ph.D. in Human–Computer Interaction (Department of Communication), and B.S. in Computer Systems Engineering from Stanford University, and his Master’s from the MIT Media Lab.
Clifford Nass (Ph.D. in Sociology, Princeton University) is the Thomas M. Storke Professor at Stanford University. He is a professor of communication, with appointments by courtesy in computer science; science, technology, and society; sociology; and symbolic systems. He is Director of the Communication between Humans and Interactive Media (CHIMe) 1071-5819/$ - see front matter doi:10.1016/j.ijhcs.2008.02.003
