Event Details
CSCW is the premier international venue for research in the design and use of technologies that affect groups, organizations, communities, and networks. We invite authors to submit their best research on all topics relevant to collaborative and social computing. Accepted papers are published in two annual CSCW issues of the Proceedings of the ACM on Human Computer Interaction (PACM HCI).
Submissions are accepted at four deadlines per year. The upcoming deadline is October 15, 2020, which will be followed by January 15, April 15, and Jul 15, 2021. Submissions accepted for publication in the October 2020, January 2021 and April 2021 cycles will be invited to present at CSCW 2021. Papers accepted from July 2021 onwards will be invited to present at CSCW 2022.
IMPORTANT CHANGES
- CSCW 2021 will use the new ACM Master Article Templates for publication of the proceedings. The correct template will be a single column submission template available in Word and LaTex. For details and links to template pages, see under “Formatting and Length.”
- Revision decisions have been updated. Submissions will now receive one of four decisions: Accept, Minor Revision, Major Revision, and Reject. For details, see under “Revision Cycles and Decisions.”
- Starting with the October 2020 cycle, authors of rejected papers may revise and submit their revised papers from three cycles onwards, but not before. Authors of papers that receive a Major Revision decision will be asked to resubmit within the next two cycles, rather than in the next cycle. These decisions were made to avoid paper rejections due to lack of time for revisions and to discourage authors from submitting papers that are not ready. Authors of papers that were rejected in the June 2020 cycle can still submit revisions in the October 2020 cycle, as these papers are grandfathered in.
IMPORTANT DATES
- October 15, 2020: Paper submissions due 23:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE) time. Accepted papers are invited to present at CSCW 2021. Submissions with Major Revision from the June 2020 cycle should be submitted in this cycle.
- January 15, 2021: Paper submissions due 23:59 AoE. Accepted papers are invited to present at CSCW 2021. Submissions with Major Revision from the October cycle can be submitted in this cycle (or the April cycle). Submissions with Accept or Minor Revision from the October cycle need to be re-submitted in this cycle for final check and publication/presentation at CSCW 2021.
- April 15, 2021: Paper submissions due 23:59 AoE. Accepted papers are invited to present at CSCW 2021. Submissions with Major Revision from the January cycle can be submitted in this cycle (or the July cycle). Submissions with Accept or Minor Revision from the January cycle need to be re-submitted in this cycle for final check and publication/presentation at CSCW 2021.
- July 15, 2021: Paper submissions due 23:59 AoE. Accepted papers are invited to present at CSCW 2022. Submissions with Major Revision from the April cycle can be submitted in this cycle (or the Oct cycle). Submissions with Accept or Minor Revision from the April cycle need to be re-submitted in this cycle for final check and publication/presentation at CSCW 2021.
- Oct 15, 2021: Paper submissions due 23:59 AoE. Accepted papers are invited to present at CSCW 2022. Submissions with Major Revision from the July cycle can be submitted in this cycle (or the Jan 2022 cycle). Submissions with Accept or Minor Revision from the July cycle need to be re-submitted in this cycle for final check and publication/presentation at CSCW 2022.
Paper reviews will be sent to authors within 10 weeks from the initial submission and major revision resubmission. Review turnaround for final checks and papers accepted with minor revisions will be shorter.
The submission site will open 2 weeks before each deadline. No deadline extensions will be granted.
CALL FOR PAPERS
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 2021 includes social computing and social media, crowdsourcing, open and remote collaboration, technologically-enabled or enhanced communication, such as video-conferencing and other remote-presence technologies, CSCL, MOOCs and related educational technologies, multi-user input technologies, collocated work practices, work articulation and coordination, awareness, and information sharing. 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) engineering and technical enablers for CSCW applications, methods and techniques for new CSCW services and applications, and evaluation of both early-stage and fully-built CSCW systems in lab or field settings.
To support diverse and high-quality contributions, CSCW uses a minimum of two-cycle review process with opportunity for major revisions reviewed by the same reviewers. Additionally, no arbitrary length limit is imposed on submissions. Accepted papers are published in the Proceedings of the ACM: Human Computer Interaction (PACM HCI) journal.
We invite contributions to CSCW across a variety of research techniques, methods, 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 development. Hardware, architectures, infrastructures, interaction design, technical foundations, algorithms, and/or toolkits that enable the building of new social and collaborative systems and experiences.
- Theory. 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 of practices, communication, collaboration, or use, as related to collaborative technologies.
- Data 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 collaborative 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.

Submission Process Details
CSCW 2021 is using the 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 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.
For information about re-publication in English of work previously published in another language, please refer to section 1.5.4 of the ACM SIGCHI policy.
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 is or will be proprietary and/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 PACM HCI and the ACM Digital Library.
Formatting And Length
ACM authoring templates and detailed instructions on formatting can be found at http://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions.
Authors who have already formatted their manuscripts using the now deprecated 2017 ACM Word Template (e.g., ACM Small) before the CfP was released can proceed with submitting their papers in that format for the October cycle.
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 revisions, authors should continue using the template they had used for their original submissions.
No minimum or maximum length is 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.
Note: Valuable but concise contributions are welcome as short papers. Shorter, more focused papers will be reviewed with the expectation of a small, focused contribution. Papers whose length is incommensurate with their contribution will be rejected.
Anonymous Review Policy
Papers are subject to anonymous reviewing. Submissions must have authors’ names and affiliations removed, and avoid obvious identifying statements. Any grant information that identifies the author(s) 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 authors’ own relevant work should not be anonymous, but rather should be done without identifying the authors. For example, “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 Cycles and Decisions
With the quarterly submission model, CSCW will be returning submissions to the primary contact author with one of the following decisions, along with the reviews, within 10 weeks from the initial submission; review turnaround for accepted papers and final checks will be shorter:
- Accept: Submissions that receive this decision are ready or nearly ready for publication , though they may require a few small changes. The final version of the paper must be submitted in the next cycle (or earlier) for verification by the corresponding associate chair. The submission will appear in an upcoming issue of the PACM HCI.
- Minor revision: Submissions that receive this decision will require some revisions before being accepted for publication. The revised submission must be submitted in the next cycle, along with a brief response to the reviewers’ comments. The revision will be verified by the corresponding associate chair and if approved, the submission will be promoted to an accepted paper.
- Major revision: Submissions that receive this decision have real potential, but will require major portions rewritten or redone, and then re-reviewed. Authors should submit their revised manuscript within the next two cycles, along with a letter explaining how they addressed the reviewers’ comments and incorporated changes in the revision. For example, an October submission receiving a Major Revision decision must be resubmitted to either the January or the April cycle. To the extent possible, resubmissions will be assigned the same AC and reviewers for re-review.
- Reject: Starting with the October 2020 cycle, authors of rejected papers may revise and submit their revised papers from three cycles onwards, but not before. For example, an October submission that is rejected can be resubmitted in July or later in the following year. Authors should describe the paper’s submission history and briefly outline the changes in a designated field in PCS when resubmitting. ACs and reviewers will have access to this description of the paper’s submission history, and may also request to review the detailed submission history. Papers resubmitted with no or marginal changes will be desk rejected without review.
- Desk / Quick Reject: Authors should only submit completed work of publishable quality and within the scope of ACM CSCW. The ACs and Editors may Quick Reject any submission that they believe has little chance of being accepted if it goes through the peer review process. Incomplete or otherwise inappropriate submissions will be desk rejected without review.
Primary Research Paradigm Selection for Reviewing
When uploading the paper to the PCS reviewing system, authors will be able to indicate the primary research paradigm of their paper for appropriate reviewer assignment:
- 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.
- Mixed Methods, e.g., combined qualitative and quantitative empirical research, design explorations combined with technical feature development.
- Design, e.g., design implications, guidelines, methods, techniques, etc.
- 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 when aligned with their methods. Authors are encouraged to submit links to preregistrations on the Open Science Framework (OSF) when appropriate for their work. Authors are also encouraged to use open access repositories and make their data and other material FAIR 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
Authors should consider submitting a video that illustrates their work as part of the 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, and authors can choose whether or not they wish to present. Because the situation may be changing and times are uncertain, authors are encouraged to discuss alternative options with the Papers Chairs. Presenting at the conference is strongly recommended but not required.

The DiGRA Executive Board is pleased to announce that the 2021 DiGRA International Conference will be held from April 13th to 18th* in Guadalajara, Mexico. More information will be coming soon regarding the theme, programmes and speakers.
The cancellation of the 2020 DiGRA Conference in Tampere was a deep disappointment to all of us, and we wish to again commend the work of both the local organising committee in Tampere and the programme committee. Everyone who had a paper or abstract accepted to the main conference programme may present their work at the 2021 conference, as per the email which was sent out last month.
The local organising committee in Guadalajara is excited to host the 2021 DiGRA International Conference, the first to be held in Latin America. Together, we will build a meaningful legacy through leadership development, by acquiring and sharing knowledge, fostering positive networking, supporting experience exchange and creating a lasting impact on digital games research.
We look forward to seeing you in Mexico next year.
* We currently expect that the ongoing outbreak will be in a mitigation phase which will allow the event to take place at this time; if this turns out not to be the case, the organizing committee and the DiGRA executive board are prepared to reschedule the event to autumn of 2021.
