Making sense of CSCW: A taxonomy of terminology

The research focuses on analyzing published documents in Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) to establish a structured hierarchy of terminology and definitions within the field. It introduces a hierarchical terminology technique (HTT) for content analysis, which identifies and organizes terms to clarify their relationships and enhance consistency in research. The findings aim to assist both new and experienced researchers, with potential applications extending to other disciplines. Future studies will evaluate the effectiveness of these structures in various contexts.
