Product Design Technical Group Sponsored Panel on Publishing as a Practitioner

Abstract

This panel includes five practitioners who publish across multiple venues. The purpose of this panel is to discuss with practitioners the challenges associated with publishing under restricted settings, such as when they are operating under non-disclosure agreements, to help them learn potential avenues to publish. The panelists represent practitioners with diverse backgrounds and approaches to publishing. The avenues for publication include traditional outlets like peer-reviewed journals and less traditional outlets like patents, magazines, and blog posts. Publishing our work, in whatever medium, can be a great way to enhance the power of the human factors community by sharing our methods and findings with colleagues and those seeking to learn more about human factors and user experience!
