The controlled experiment is highly regarded because its properties
permit conclusions with the most scientific rigor. Controlled
experimentation is important for the foundation of disciplines that
claim to be scientific. It is also important to conduct them
properly: they come at a high cost in time, effort and
participation; there is an esteem that confers credibility; there
is an ethical responsibility to human subjects. However, the
quality of controlled experiments performed in health informatics
and computer science is often poor; evidence shows that informatics
and computing researchers and evaluators need further training in
experimental methods. One way to address quality issues is to
measure quality. This follows the example of the creation of
questionnaire instruments to measure quality of controlled medical
trials, which have also had their problems. This book describes the
development and use of a questionnaire (the MICE index) to quantify
the quality of controlled experiments in informatics that involve
human participants. Such a tool will be helpful to those planning
or evaluating informatics experiments.
