OZCHI 2020 Call for Papers and Late-Breaking Work
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OzCHI 2020 - 32nd Australian Conference on Human-Computer
Interaction
Virtual Conference 2-4 December 2020
http://www.ozchi.org/2020/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We invite original contributions on all topics related to
human-computer interaction (HCI), interaction design and the
design of interactive technologies. We welcome submissions from
design, engineering, social science, creative industries and other
related disciplines.
In acknowledgement of the effect that Covid-19 had on everyone's
ability to conduct research, we have pushed back the Paper
deadline. We now invite Paper as well as Late-Breaking Work
submissions to be submitted by 14 August 2020. Submissions to both
categories will be peer-reviewed and published in the conference
proceedings.
======
Papers:
======
Papers should present original research and mature work in the
fields of HCI and interaction design. These papers may describe
investigations of user needs or contexts of use, lab-based
evaluations or field deployments of prototypes, or other
design-led or empirical investigations examining the relationship
between people and technology. Given the impact of Covid-19 on
conducting research studies, authors are encouraged to also
consider submitting theory-based contributions that make a clear
contribution to the field.
We no longer have the category of "Short Papers", but we are now
accepting submissions to the Papers track that are any length
between 8 and 16 pages in the new, single-column ACM Master
Article
Template
<https://chi2021.acm.org/for-authors/chi-publication-formats>.
The length of the paper should correspond to the contribution it
makes. Authors are encouraged to consider submitting their work
either to the Papers track or to the Late-Breaking Work track
(which are up to 6 pages long in the single-column ACM format),
depending on the maturity of the work.
================
Late-Breaking Work:
================
Late-Breaking Work (LBW) submissions present ideas that are
emerging and would benefit from discussion with members of the HCI
community. These submissions may include initial findings from new
research, experiences of reflective practitioners, and first
drafts of novel concepts and approaches. Due to the reduced number
of submission categories this year, we also invite case studies
about the design of interactive technologies to the LBW track.
Case studies may be based on academic or industry projects, and
should describe recent, topical work to fit the "late-breaking"
theme of this track. For example, this may include projects
describing the application of HCI or interaction design principles
for addressing pandemic-related challenges.
=============
Important dates:
=============
7 August 2020: Abstract submission for Papers and Late-Breaking
Work
14 August 2020: Papers
14 August 2020: Late-Breaking Work
2 October 2020: Notification of accepted submissions
2-4 December 2020: Virtual conference takes place online
===============
Submission details:
===============
* Template: Papers and Late-Breaking Work submissions must follow
the new Word/LaTeX Master Article
template
<https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow>.
For further information and examples see the CHI2021 publication
format
website
<https://chi2021.acm.org/for-authors/chi-publication-formats>
on
https://chi2021.acm.org/for-authors/chi-publication-formats
* Page length: Papers should be between 8 and 16 pages (excluding
references). LBW submissions can be up to 6 pages long (excluding
references). Reviewers will be instructed to weigh the
contribution of a submission relative to its length. Shorter, more
focused submissions are encouraged and will be reviewed like any
other paper.
* Anonymisation: Submissions must be anonymised for peer review.
Citations of own work and general anonymisation standards should
follow the CHI anonymisation
policy
<https://chi2021.acm.org/for-authors/presenting/papers/chi-anonymization-policy>
on
https://chi2021.acm.org/for-authors/presenting/papers/chi-anonymization-policy
* Submission format: single column format in PDF using Word or
LaTeX, including source files.
* Submission system: We are planning on using PCS this year, the
submission link will be published on the OzCHI website.
==============
Selection process:
==============
Papers and LBW will undergo a double-blind review by an
international panel and evaluated on the basis of their
significance, originality and clarity of writing. This review will
be based on the full text of the submission.
We are planning for accepted papers to be published in the ACM
International Conference Proceedings Series available from the ACM
Digital Library.
At least one author of each accepted paper must register with
OzCHI and present the paper at the virtual conference. We are
aiming to keep costs for authors as low as possible this year.
Updates on registration and online presentation format will be
published on the OzCHI website.
===========
About OzCHI:
===========
OzCHI is the annual non-profit conference for the Computer-Human
Interaction Special Interest Group (CHISIG) and Australia's
leading forum for the latest in HCI research and practice. OzCHI
attracts a broad international community of researchers, industry
practitioners, academics and students. Participants come from a
range of backgrounds and include interaction designers, user
experience (UX) practitioners, information architects, software
engineers, human factors experts, information systems analysts and
social scientists.
This year, OzCHI will take place as a virtual conference with
Papers and Late-Breaking Work being presented online. A particular
focus of OzCHI 2020 will be to support PhD candidates and their
research through a range of mentoring opportunities and a Doctoral
Consortium.
