Abstract
Reading scientific papers is a crucial skill for students. However, many students in higher education struggle to effectively comprehend scientific texts. To address this challenge, researchers have leveraged computer-assisted reading (CAR) systems to enhance students' reading comprehension abilities on a broader scale. Nevertheless, the research and application of CAR in higher education still lack an organized overview and consistent terminology. This is due to the multidisciplinary nature of the field, which encompasses areas such as Educational Didactics, Human-Computer Interaction, and Information Systems (IS). Therefore, we conduct a systematic literature review on CAR from an interdisciplinary Information Systems perspective. Using the socio-technical systems theory as a lens, we organize and summarize past literature and identify gaps that present opportunities for future research. The main contributions of this paper are the synthesis and consolidation of CAR systems in higher education, providing a foundational basis for researchers investigating the domain of CAR.
