Abstract
Computer scientists in information system encounter difficulties in leading research when they must consider human aspects, especially to evaluate these aspects. To achieve high quality research, they need to be guided in their process from their research question to their contributions. This article addresses the question of a traceable process to lead research in human-centred computer science. It proposes, THEDRE, a method to lead research with process and some quality indicators. This method integrates the elements to track research thanks to the integration of continuous quality improvement concepts (Deming’s wheel and indicators) in the research process. Our proposal has been designed from our participation in 29 works in human-centred computer science, and more particularly with 8 PHD students in information system. Also, THEDRE has been experimented during 2 workshops with PhD students and researchers.

THEDRE: A Traceable Process for High Quality in Human Centred Computer Science Research
Computer scientists in information system encounter difficulties in leading research when they must consider human aspects, especially to evaluate these aspects. To achieve high quality research, they need to be guided in their process from their research question to their contributions. This article addresses the question of a traceable process to lead research in human-centred computer science. It proposes, THEDRE, a method to lead research with process and some quality indicators. This method integrates the elements to track research thanks to the integration of continuous quality improvement concepts (Deming’s wheel and indicators) in the research process. Our proposal has been designed from our participation in 29 works in human-centred computer science, and more particularly with 8 PHD students in information system.
