Over the last couple of months we have been working hard updating our database of EyeLink publications. One big change we’ve made is that the eye tracking research papers listed on the website can now be searched – by year, author name, journal title and keywords. In addition, each reference is complete with its abstract (which is included in the search) and doi link (where available). You can browse / search the entire list of over 6000 references here – take a look and let us know if we are missing any of your EyeLink research papers!
Another change behind the scenes is that we are now using proper reference management software to store all the publications, and this allows us to do some interesting analyses…
Our database now contains over 6300 research papers published in peer-reviewed journals that use EyeLink eye trackers (up to 2017, which is the last year we currently have complete data for). As you can see from the figure below, over the last 20 years we have grown from just 2 papers in 1997 to almost 800 in 2017.
EyeLink Publications by year
Over 70% of the papers in our publication database are published in the 50 journals listed below – the list is ordered by the number of publications in each journal. I also included the Journal’s most recent Impact Factor.

Sam Hutton studied Experimental Psychology at the University of Sussex, and liked it so much he stayed there to do a PhD. His first encounter with an eye tracker was during his post-doctoral fellowship at Imperial College, London. He was based in the Neuro-opthalmology unit at Charing Cross Hospital for 6 years, and whilst there learned to use an ancient infrared eye tracking system to measure basic oculomotor function (prosaccades / antisaccades / smooth pursuit etc) in patients with neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders. He was hooked, and has been actively involved in eye tracking research in one way or another ever since. When not writing blogs (e.g. most of the time...) he works with the rest of the SR Research Support Team on a range of projects, taking a particular interest in issues involving eye tracking in clinical settings (for example eye tracking nystagmus / neurological disorders) and pupillometry. He can also be found teaching eye tracking workshops on a range of topics, and generally trying to make sure that people don't make the same mistakes he did. He loves to eye track animals, and has so far managed to record gaze from mice, cats, dogs and a duck...
