Current Practices in Accessibility Evaluation: A Literature Review of Over 100 Studies

Abstract

This article aims to fill the gap in accessibility assessment practices through a comprehensive review of over 100 research articles, identifying the most commonly used accessibility assessment methods. The review includes both studies assessing the accessibility of systems and those promoting accessibility or assistive technologies. By reviewing existing research, we seek to provide a clear overview of the predominant methodologies in the field, highlighting current practices and pointing out areas for methodological improvement and innovation. The significance of this study lies in its potential to inform future research and practice, providing a basis for developing more effective and comprehensive assessment frameworks that improve accessibility for users with disabilities.
