SUMMARY:From Accountability to Disclosure: A Citation Analysis of Positiona
 lity Statements in HCI
DESCRIPTION:BritCHI 2026 · Paper Session 5: Critical and Responsible HCI\n
 Ferreira\, Sanches\nPositionality statements have grown rapidly in HCI\, y
 et their theoretical grounding remains unclear. We conduct a citation anal
 ysis of ACM DL publications making claims about positionality statements\,
  together with the literature they cite. From 36 papers we extract 48 exce
 rpts citing 26 distinct works. Only 9 of those works engage with positiona
 lity statements as the concept is used in HCI\, and only 3 offer affirmati
 ve and robust grounding. Citation practices transform reflexivity’s proc
 essual accountability into formalized disclosure\, and redirect standpoint
  epistemology from elevating marginalized knowledge towards centring resea
 rcher identities. Positionality statements\, as currently theorized\, ther
 efore risk undermining the goals of accountability and epistemic justice t
 hey seek to advance. We suggest resisting formalized disclosure\, operatio
 nalizing reflexive transparency through process documentation\, and re-cen
 tring empirical focus on marginalized knowledge. Concerns about the practi
 ce have so far been largely conceptual\; we provide systematic citational 
 evidence for them.
