A comprehensive guide for authors assessing the fit of their computer science manuscript for the ACM CSCW conference. It provides expert advice on positioning, required evidence (empirical depth, design implications), scope vocabulary (collaboration systems, social platforms), and structuring the paper to maximize acceptance chances in social computing venues.

This guide teaches authors how to strategically position their human-computer interaction (HCI) research for top-tier conferences like CHI. It covers identifying the core contribution type (e.g., theory, empirical study, system artifact), determining the most suitable venue (e.g., UIST, CSCW, DIS), and selecting the appropriate reviewing subcommittees to maximize acceptance chances and impact.

Provides comprehensive guidelines for researchers packaging and releasing artifacts (data, code, instruments) derived from real communities in CSCW research. It emphasizes ethical constraints, de-identification techniques (such as quote search and join attacks), and best practices for protecting studied communities' privacy, ensuring responsible sharing.

This guide details the dual-track process after accepting a conference paper: the technical publication track (involving deanonymization, minor changes, and ACM production mechanics like TAPS and e-rights) and the conference presentation logistics. It serves as a comprehensive checklist for authors managing the transition from acceptance to final output.

A comprehensive guide for designing and auditing empirical research in CSCW. It emphasizes methodological pluralism, defining distinct standards of rigor for various techniques like ethnography, trace analysis, surveys, and mixed methods. The guide mandates pre-design planning, explicitly addressing ethical concerns, unit of analysis, and aggregation logic before data collection.

This guide provides expert advice on crafting the "Related Work" section for academic submissions, particularly those targeting CSCW. It details how to successfully integrate four distinct literatures (CSCW lineage, PACMHCI work, neighboring venues, and source disciplines), ensuring citations are era-correct, arguments are contestable, and the review process is navigated rigorously.

This guide provides comprehensive standards for achieving auditability and transparency in Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) research. It teaches researchers how to document non-shareable evidence, such as field interviews, log traces, and system deployments, by focusing on detailed analysis trails, decision logs, and rigorous process documentation, thus strengthening academic rigor.

This guide details the rigorous academic review process, modeled after top-tier conferences like CSCW. It breaks down the decision vocabulary (e.g., Revise and Resubmit, Conditional Accept, Reject), explaining what each outcome means for authors. It also covers the critical mechanics of same-reviewer re-review, the shift to a rolling editorial board structure, and practical advice on interpreting waiting times and revising submissions.

A comprehensive guide for authors preparing manuscripts for CSCW submission. It covers critical pre-upload steps including verifying the current submission pathway, adhering to single-column ACM templates, managing word length scrutiny, ensuring full anonymity (author and setting), confirming ethics statements, and mitigating common desk-risk pitfalls before final submission.

This guide details the best practices for preparing and submitting supplementary materials for CSCW submissions. It clarifies the difference between main papers, appendices, and separate files, emphasizing that anything needed to *trust* the method belongs here. Crucially, it provides deep guidelines on data anonymization, metadata scrubbing, and version control for review rounds.

A comprehensive guide for researchers to determine if their human-centered research belongs in CSCW. It provides a critical unit-of-analysis test (group, community, organization) and a routing decision process to ensure the paper's focus is on cooperative practice, not just individual interaction. Use this before drafting to optimize submission to the correct academic venue.

A comprehensive guide to managing the modern CSCW (Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work) submission timeline. It details the shift from rigid, fixed cycles to a flexible, rolling submission model, emphasizing that success relies on treating the process as a long-term 'revision campaign' rather than a quick deadline sprint. Learn how to strategically plan for revisions and maintain momentum across extended academic cycles.
