Call for Resource Papers:
ACM 2027 SIGIR Conference on Human Information Interaction and Retrieval (CHIIR)

Resource papers should describe publicly available datasets or open source software that are new or not well-known, allowing researchers to replicate research results and providing a citable paper when using that resource. Their length should not exceed 4 pages in the ACM two-column format and they will be presented during a poster session to enable direct interaction with attendees. Resource papers will be evaluated based on the quality of the resource, its novelty compared to other available alternatives, how well it has been described, and its potential for investigating a variety of research questions.

 

Important Dates

  • Short Paper Submission: October 29th, 2026 (AoE)
  • Notification: December 15th, 2026
  • Conference: 7-11 March, 2027

 

Submission Instructions

  • Resource paper submissions must be in English and should be submitted as PDF files. Papers must not exceed 4 pages, including all content (e.g., figures, tables, proofs, acknowledgements, and appendices), but excluding references, which may extend beyond this 4-page limit. All submissions must follow the current ACM two-column conference format.
  • For the review stage, papers should be submitted using the ACM double-column format. Suitable LaTeX, Word, and Overleaf templates are available from the ACM Website (use sigconf proceedings template for LaTeX and the Interim Template for Word). For LaTeX, use:
    • \documentclass[sigconf,natbib=true,anonymous=true]{acmart}
  • Submissions must be anonymous and should be submitted electronically via EasyChair:
  • For submissions of datasets, authors should provide a public URL for downloading the dataset. For submissions of software, the source code, dependencies on external libraries, and installation instructions must be available on a public web page or in a publicly accessible repository. All datasets and source code must be licensed in such a manner that it can be legally and freely used, at the minimum in academic and research settings. Authors should take care that they cannot be easily identified through their submitted resource during the double-blind review process. For additional guidance on anonymization of submitted resources, see the guidelines on artifact submission described in SIGIR’s artifact badging process. Code can also be submitted via an anonymous Github repository.
  • At least one author of each accepted submission must register for CHIIR 2027, and the author(s) or their delegate(s) must present the work at the conference in person.
