CSCW 2020 is moving to quarterly deadlines!

CSCW is changing! We are moving paper submissions away from a yearly model to a quarterly model. While many factors were considered in making this decision, our overarching goal is to better recognize that scholarship happens throughout the year, not just once a year. Here is an overview of the new plan:

Deadlines

CSCW deadlines will occur 4 times per year: Jan 15, Apr 15, Jul 15, and Oct 15.

The first deadline will be Oct 15, 2019. Papers accepted to the Jan 15, and Apr 15 cycles will be presented in the Nov conference of that same year. Papers accepted in the Jul 15 and Oct 15 cycles will be presented in the following year. This means that papers accepted in Oct 15, 2019, Jan 15, 2020, and Apr 15, 2020 cycles will be presented in Nov 2020. Please keep in mind that papers must be *accepted* in this cycle, not just submitted. Papers that are invited to revise and resubmit must resubmit with the *next* cycle. For example, if your paper was submitted in the Oct 15 cycle and invited to revise and resubmit, you would resubmit it with the Jan 15 cycle. In some cases, Jul 15 acceptances may be invited to present in the same year in late-breaking work slots but that will not be the default and should not be the expectation.

Revise and Resubmit

As before, authors will have the opportunity to revise and resubmit a submission following feedback from reviewers. Revised submissions should be made at the next cycle after feedback is given.

PACM HCI Journal

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.

What does this mean for Authors?

You can now submit work 4 times per year instead of 1 time per year. If your submission is accepted with minor revisions, it will be considered accepted for that cycle. If your submission is invited to revise and resubmit, you should resubmit it in the following cycle.
