Scientific production in the study of user experience in education: case Web of Science and Scopus

Abstract This work has the goal to make an approximation of the evolution and general features present in scientific production disclosed in Web of Science and in Scopus, related to the study of user experience in education. The work analyzes the totality of the production registered in the indexation systems taken as a case of study, 194 records obtained from the use of terms user experience and edoucation. The study carries out a content analysis of the abstract and institutional, editorial and author information exposed in the Web of Science andScopus, in addition to the analysis of the bibliometric indicators of each identified work. Obtained data show that more than 80% of the scientific production around the topic addressed, mostly generated in scientific events, has been produced in the last 5 years, under the authorship and institutional affiliation of academic institutions and publishers from the United States. This would point out to a new academic framework, of growing interest, around the analysis of the user experience from an educational perspective, conditioned bya highly focused debate on a geographical area, which is assuming a prominent role in the first approaches that are emerging on this subject, at the scientific level.摘要 本研究旨在对Web of Science与Scopus两大数据库中公开的、与教育领域用户体验（user experience）研究相关的科研产出的演进趋势与整体特征进行近似分析。本研究以纳入分析的两大索引数据库中的全部科研产出为研究案例，通过检索关键词“user experience”与“edoucation”共获取得到194条文献记录。本研究针对Web of Science与Scopus数据库中收录的文献摘要、机构信息、编辑信息及作者信息开展内容分析，同时对每篇识别出的科研成果的文献计量学（bibliometric）指标进行解析。研究结果显示，围绕该主题的科研产出中，超80%的成果均产生于近5年，且其中多数刊发于学术会议；相关成果主要由来自美国的学术机构与出版机构的作者及其所属机构完成。上述结果表明，基于教育视角的用户体验分析已形成热度持续攀升的新兴学术研究框架；该领域的讨论高度聚焦于特定地理区域，且该区域在本主题的前沿科学探索中正占据愈发重要的地位。
