*Call for Papers: The 23rd ACM Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative
Work and Social Computing (CSCW 2020)*
http://cscw.acm.org/2020/submit-papers.html
Important Changes
* CSCW is introducing a new quarterly submission model, with paper
deadlines on Jan 15, Apr 15, Jul 15, and Oct 15. The first quarterly
deadline is Oct 15, 2019.
* Papers accepted in the following submission cycles will be invited to
present at CSCW 2020:
* Oct 15, 2019
* Jan 15, 2020
* April 15, 2020
* Papers accepted in the following submission cycles will be invited to
present at CSCW 2021:
* July 15, 2020 (*may* be invited to present as late breaking in 2020,
space permitting)
* Oct 15, 2020
* Jan 15, 2021
* April 15, 2021
* In 2017, CSCW moved all publications to the Proceedings of the ACM on
Human Computer Interaction (PACM HCI). Papers accepted to CSCW under the
new model will continue to be published in PACM HCI. Publication timelines
are being negotiated; papers are expected to be published on a quarterly
basis.
* While the papers process will be handled by Papers Co-chairs as before,
CSCW has newly created the Editor role and formed a team of Editors who
will manage the review process. The Editors will assign two Associate
Chairs to each submission (i.e., 1AC and 2AC).
* There is no separate abstract deadline. Authors need to submit their
abstracts plus full papers by the deadline.
* More information about the new process is described in [CSCW 2020 Changes

Call for Papers
CSCW is an international and interdisciplinary peer reviewed conference
seeking the best research on all topics relevant to collaborative and
social computing. We invite authors to submit papers that inform the design
or deployment of collaborative or social systems; introduce novel systems,
interaction techniques, or algorithms; or study existing collaborative or
social practices. The scope of CSCW 2020 includes social computing and
social media, crowdsourcing, open collaboration, technologically-enabled or
enhanced communication, work practices, CSCL, MOOCs, and related
educational technologies, multi-user input technologies, collaboration,
awareness, information sharing, and coordination. This scope spans
socio-technical domains of work, home, education, healthcare, the arts,
sociality, entertainment, and ethics. Papers can report on novel research
results, designs, systems, or new ways of thinking about, studying, or
supporting shared activities.
CSCW encourages papers that make a contribution to building CSCW systems
including (but not limited to) technical enablers for CSCW applications,
methods and techniques for new CSCW services and applications, and
evaluation of fully-built CSCW systems and lab and field settings.
To support diverse and high-quality contributions, CSCW employs a two-phase
review process and does not impose an arbitrary length limit on
submissions. Accepted papers will be published in the journal Proceedings
of the ACM: Human Computer Interaction (PACM HCI).
Contributions to CSCW across a variety of research techniques, approaches,
and domains, including:
* *Social and crowd computing*. Studies, theories, designs, mechanisms,
systems, and/or infrastructures addressing social media, social networking,
wikis, blogs, online gaming, crowdsourcing, collective intelligence,
virtual worlds or collaborative information behaviors.
* *System design.* Hardware, architectures, infrastructures, interaction
design, technical foundations, algorithms, and/or toolkits that enable the
building of new social and collaborative systems and experiences.
* *Theories*. Critical analysis or theory with clear relevance to the
design or study of social and collaborative systems, within and beyond work
settings.
* *Empirical investigations*. Findings, guidelines, and/or studies on
practices, communication, collaboration, or use as related to collaborative
technologies. CSCW 2020 welcomes diverse methods and approaches.
* *Mining and modeling*. Studies, analyses and infrastructures for making
use of large- and small-scale data.
* *Methodologies and tools*. Novel methods or combinations of approaches
and tools used in building systems or studying their use.
* *Domain-specific social and collaborative applications*. Including
applications to healthcare, transportation, gaming, ICT4D, sustainability,
education, accessibility, global collaboration, or other domains.
* *Collaboration systems based on emerging technologies*. Mobile and
ubiquitous computing, game engines, virtual worlds, multi-touch, novel
display technologies, vision and gesture recognition, big data, MOOCs,
crowd labor markets, SNSs, or sensing systems.
* *Ethics and policy implications*. Analysis of the implications of
socio-technical systems and the algorithms that shape them.
* *Crossing boundaries*. Studies, prototypes, or other investigations that
explore interactions across disciplines, distance, languages, generations,
and cultures, to help better understand how to transcend social, temporal,
and/or spatial boundaries.

Submission Process Details
CSCW 2020 is using the new version of Precision Conference System (PCS
2.0): https://new.precisionconference.com/
Authors submitting papers for peer-review to ACM publications must comply
with [the SIGCHI Submission and Review Policy] (
https://sigchi.org/about/sigchi-policies/conference-policies/submission-and-review/)
including, but not limited to:
* That the paper submitted is original, that the listed authors are the
creators of the work, that each author is aware of the submission and that
they are listed as an author, and that the paper is an honest
representation of the underlying work.
* That the work submitted is not currently under review at any other
publication venue, and that it will not be submitted to another venue
unless it has been rejected or withdrawn from this venue.
Regarding the re-publication in English of work previously published in
another language, please refer to section 1.5.4 of [the ACM SIGCHI policy](
https://sigchi.org/about/sigchi-policies/conference-policies/specialized-conferences/
):
Confidentiality of submitted material will be maintained. Upon acceptance,
the titles, authorship, and abstracts of papers will be used in the Advance
Program. Submissions should contain no information or material that will be
proprietary or confidential at the time of publication, and should cite no
publication that will be proprietary or confidential at that time. Final
versions of accepted papers must be formatted according to detailed
instructions provided by the publisher. Copyright release forms must be
signed for inclusion in the proceedings and the ACM Digital Library.
##Formatting and Length
Papers accepted to CSCW 2020 will be published in the Proceedings of the
ACM: Human Computer Interaction (PACM HCI) journal. The journal uses *the
single-column ACM Small* article template.
The ACM Small template is available for download as part of [the ACM Master
Template](https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions). Please use
the most recent version of the master template, even if you have previously
downloaded it. Word users: if the typefaces are not showing up correctly,
be sure you have installed the fonts included in the ACM template download.
Authors using the Overleaf platform can use the templates provided within
Overleaf. Papers should be converted to PDF before submission.
*Note*: In preparing initial submissions, authors should make their best
effort at matching the ACM-Small template styles and conventions, but
please don’t worry about perfect formatting at this stage! Any smaller
formatting issues can be addressed during the revision cycle and
camera-ready preparation stage.
There is no minimum or maximum length imposed on papers. Rather, reviewers
will be instructed to weigh the contribution of a paper relative to its
length. Typical papers are under 10,000 words. Shorter, more focused papers
are encouraged and will be reviewed like any other paper. Papers whose
length is incommensurate with their contribution will be rejected.
Anonymous Review Policy
Papers are subject to anonymous reviewing. Your submission must have
authors' names and affiliations removed, and avoid obvious identifying
statements. Any grant information that immediately identifies the author
and their institution should be removed as well. Papers that violate this
policy will be desk rejected. Please check in particular the front page,
headers and footers, and the Acknowledgement section.
Citations to your own relevant work should not be anonymous, but rather
should be done without identifying yourself as the author. For example, say
"Prior work by [authors]" instead of "In our prior work."
CSCW does not have a policy against uploading preprints to SSRN or arXiv
before they are submitted for review at the conference.
Revision Cycle
With the new quarterly submission model, CSCW is introducing major changes
to how the revision cycle works. Please read this section carefully.
Upon submission, a paper will receive one of the following decisions along
with the reviews, within 8-10 weeks:
* *Minor revision*: This is equivalent to conditional accept. Authors
should address the points raised by reviewers within three weeks and submit
the revised version for final approval.
* *Major revision*: This is equivalent to the current “Revise & Resubmit
(R&R)”. Authors submit a revised paper in the subsequent deadline (e.g.,
Oct with major revision needs to be resubmitted in the Jan deadline). This
gives authors about four weeks to revise their paper in response to the
reviewers' comments. Authors need to allocate time for a possible revision
cycle. The revision cycle enables authors to address issues raised by
reviewers that may have been a cause for rejection under prior conference
reviewing schemes, such as the need to improve readability/grammar, discuss
missing citations, redo some analyses, adopt terminology familiar to the
field, and/or reframe ideas more clearly. When submitting the revised
paper, authors are asked to provide a letter explaining how they approached
the comments by the reviewers and incorporated the changes in the revision.
This is not an invitation to submit extended abstracts or incomplete
papers; please submit only completed work of publishable quality.
Incomplete or otherwise inappropriate submissions will be desk rejected
without review.
* *Reject*: While authors may submit their revised paper in any subsequent
deadlines, authors should describe all or any part of the paper’s
submission history. Papers submitted with no or marginal changes can be
desk rejected without review.
Review Criteria
Authors will be able to indicate the primary methodological orientation of
their paper, when they upload the paper to the PCS reviewing system:
* Technical/Systems, e.g., building novel systems, algorithms, implementing
novel features in existing systems, etc.
* Empirical-Qualitative, e.g., ethnography, workplace studies, qualitative
user studies, etc.
* Empirical-Quantitative, e.g., "big data," quantitative user studies,
statistical methods, etc.
* Design, e.g., design implications, guidelines, methods, techniques, etc.
* Mixed Methods, e.g., combined qualitative and quantitative empirical
research, design explorations combined with technical feature development.
* Theoretical, e.g., conceptual frameworks, theory underpinning CSCW
studies/domains, theoretical analysis, and essays.
Open and Transparent Science
Authors are encouraged to submit supplementary material when possible and
aligned with their methods. Authors are encouraged to submit links to
pre-registrations when appropriate for their work. Authors are encouraged
to use open access repositories and make their data and other material
[FAIR](https://www.force11.org/group/fairgroup/fairprinciples) when
appropriate for their work. Authors are encouraged to describe efforts to
make their work more reproducible. Reviewers are encouraged to support
evolving approaches to supporting open and transparent research practices.
Video Figures
Consider submitting a video that illustrates your work, either as a video
figure judged as part of your submission (no more than three minutes long).
Videos are not required for paper submissions, but are strongly encouraged,
particularly for papers contributing novel systems or interaction
techniques.
Presenting at the Conference
Accepted papers are invited to present at the corresponding conference for
that cycle. Authors who wish to present at the conference but are unable to
are encouraged to discuss alternative options with the Papers Chairs.
Presenting at the conference is strongly recommended but not required.
