So I got the official CHI rejection I was expecting it but no more uncomfortable non the less. I guess the paper was 50% of the way there as we weren't able to finish the second study in the big lab.
I think what surprises me is two things. Firstly we get highly commended in all departments and no specific faults given yet the reviews where very low ( 2.0's ). You think for a score of 2.0 people might have been able to point as some specific fault in the study.
Secondly all the people reported high expertise in the field of space syntax which is strange. It was clear the reviewers had some vague knowledge, they knew that space syntax had to do with pedestrian movement numbers and that was about it. Our study didn't have anything to do with numbers of people passing which was the main misplaced criticism of the study.
So what is the way forward.
- Do the main lab study - looks like the separators will arrive soon. We can redo the lab study and get the paper we wanted done done.
- I'm interested in doing the study of the numbers of people passing a display this would do the study that the reviewers thought they where reviewing. Need to think about this more
