There are also many high quality HCI and design journals that you should look through and search within.

I sent some of these around before we met for the first session, but here they are again:

A short ‘cheat sheet’ I made with some prompts to help closely and critically read a paper.

A useful guide for critical reading for graduate students from Queen’s University (Kingston, Canada).

Another useful guide that gives advise and steps to taken when conducting a critical analysis or review of a paper from the University of Washington, Tacoma.
