Full papers should be based on empirical work; perspective papers should present novel ideas or insights concerning approaches, key challenges, or theoretical or methodological issues that have the potential to inspire substantive discussion and lead to significant advances in the field.
Full research and perspectives papers must describe original work that has not been previously published, not accepted for publication elsewhere, and not simultaneously submitted or currently under review in another journal or conference (including the other tracks of CHIIR 2027).
We welcome submissions on a range of quantitative and qualitative research methods. Topics covered include, but are not limited to:
Please note that submission of abstracts (max. 250 words) is mandatory. The abstract must summarise the central content and clearly state the aim, methods and findings. The abstracts will be used to assign reviewers.
The full, perspective, short, demo, design, and resource paper review process is double-blind. Authors must take all reasonable steps to preserve the anonymity of their submission. The submission must not include author information; citations or discussion of your prior work should be written in the third person form.
It is acceptable to refer to companies or organizations that provided datasets, hosted experiments or deployed solutions if reviewers cannot infer that the authors are currently affiliated with these organizations.
You can submit papers that you have posted to pre-print/archival platforms (e.g., arXiv), or plan to post in the future, after submission. However, your paper must conform to the Pre-Print/ArXiv Policy. Breaking anonymity or pre-print/ArXiv policy puts the submission at risk of being desk rejected.
Authors should carefully go through ACM’s authorship policy before submitting a paper. Please ensure that all authors are identified in EasyChair before the submission deadline. To support the identification of reviewers with conflicts of interest, the full author list must be specified at abstract submission time for full and perspective papers and at submission deadlines for short, demo, design, resource, tutorial, workshop, and doctoral consortium papers.
No changes to authorship, under any circumstances, will be permitted after the (abstract) submission deadline. This also applies to the camera-ready submission. So, please ensure you have listed authors correctly at abstract submission time.
All submissions must comply with the ACM policy on using Artificial Intelligence.
Starting January 1, 2026, ACM will fully transition to Open Access. All ACM publications, including those from ACM-sponsored conferences, will be 100% Open Access. Authors will have two primary options for publishing Open Access articles with ACM: the ACM Open institutional model or by paying Article Processing Charges (APCs).
Authors from institutions not participating in ACM Open will need to pay an APC to publish their papers, unless they qualify for a financial or discretionary waiver. To find out whether an APC applies to your article, please consult the list of participating institutions in ACM Open and review the APC Waivers and Discounts Policy. Keep in mind that waivers are rare and are granted based on specific criteria set by ACM.
Contact the ACM for more information at dl-info@hq.acm.org.
Submissions that violate the anonymity, pre-print policy, length, or formatting requirements, or are determined to violate ACM’s policies on academic dishonesty, including plagiarism, author misrepresentation, falsification, etc., are subject to desk rejection. Any of the following may result in desk rejection:
