In my opinion, UI/UX (user interface / user experience) or programming syntax are just like a piece of art. Some people will like your work, some won’t – it depends on a number of factors varying among people. I am doing *research* in designing UI/UX or programming syntax, and I have a few questions:

1. Can invention of UI/UX or programming syntax become a publication?
2. Which way of doing research can make those works look more academic?

Why do I ask these questions?

Because I think that when we talk about *good* or *bad* in scientific research, it should be universal, independent of human opinion. That’s why in the second question, I ask for research *methods* to approach scientific work, instead of creating artwork.
