Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? A literature review of HCI and ID concludes that integrating culture in ICT design spans from the generic or culture-neutral to the specialised or culture-specific. → Patricia A. Young 2008

q2 · i? · review · r2
Narrative review of HCI and ID literature on culture in ICT design; the author draws this as the first of two conclusions from the sampled literature, noting 'this is not a complete review of literature in HCI and ID but a sampling of what exists'.
"it is apparent that integrating culture in the design of ICTs serves a broader scope, from the generic or culture-neutral, to the specialised or culture-specific."
