CALL FOR PAPERS

In 2021, IHC’s theme is “Interaction from Caburaí to Chuí”, as references to the northernmost and southernmost landmarks of the Brazilian continental territory. This event invites researchers and practitioners to reflect upon the diversity of our research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). The idea also incorporates the exploration of the diversity of cultures, research themes, regions, target publics, ways of interactions, among others. We invite quality submissions from all over Brazil and further afield, as geographical barriers and travel difficulties are diminished with an online event.

In Brazil, IHC was classified by national agency CAPES as B2 (first level of the second tier) in 2013-2016. In the provisional unified Qualis rating by CAPES for the next four-yearly evaluation, IHC is projected to be classified as A4 (fourth level in the first tier). IHC’s H5 index calculated by Google Scholar was 9 in 2019, growing to 11 in 2020. IHC is the largest national event in the area of Human-Computer Interaction in Brazil, and has grown considerably in recent years.

Researchers, professors,industry practitioners and students are invited to submit papers to IHC’s research track, covering research that contributes to the area of HCI. Papers submitted to the research track should report on original research in HCI. They should not have been published or under consideration for publication in any other venue. Papers published in the research track should provide solid and high-quality scholarly research, with evident contributions to the field of HCI. Contributions should include results from studies that provide evidence from research and/or application of HCI. In the research track, papers should present consolidated results with high relevance, demonstrated originality and adequate validation, according to the type of method employed in the research.

CODE OF ETHICS

We abide by the ACM Code of Ethics. We expect that all submissions, underlying research, and behavior during the review process and conference comply with the principles and responsibilities outlined by the code.

PRESENTATIONS

Paper presentations during the event will be made via pre-recorded videos, hosted on the conference platform, and later archived on the IHC 2021 channel on YouTube. However, the discussions will be synchronous. Hence, the participation of at least one of the authors in the session is mandatory.

The track coordination will send emails to the authors specifying the details, including the maximum length, video submission format, and other points relevant to the track.

The Resources and Accessibility page presents resources that can be useful in preparing videos, including slide and recording templates using OBS Studio. When preparing the presentation video, follow the recommendations available in: How can I make my pre-recorded presentation more accessible? (available in Portuguese only). Note that due to the virtual format of the IHC 2021, the ability for attendees to understand presentations using only vision or audio is now a requirement. Therefore, all presentations must include subtitles. We have prepared a tutorial to help you with the subtitling process.

SUBMISSIONS

Papers submitted to the research track should have up to 10 pages, excluding references. Submissions may be written in English or Portuguese. Submissions should by anonymized and follow the template provided at ACM CHI2020 (acm-sigconf). For Portuguese-speaking authors, we recommend consulting the paper “Guia Rápido para Submissão Anônima: proteja sua identidade corretamente“, published at SBC Horizontes, and authored by Profa. Mirella Moro.

We strongly recommend using the Latex template available at Overleaf.

If preferred, authors may use the Latex source files.

Optionally, authors may use the template do MS-Word template.

Before submitting their paper, authors should certify they adhere to the following formatting guidelines:

1. Ensure that the paper’s title is only in English (even for papers in Portuguese);
2. Ensure that keywords are only in English (even por papers in Portuguese);
3. Ensure that the abstract is only in English, and that the section is named “abstract” (and not resumo, for papers in Portuguese);
4. Ensure that the section “CCS Codes” is defined according to the ACM standard;
5. Ensure the paper includes a section “ACM reference format”, according to the template;
6. Ensure that the headings on even pages has the name, date and place of the event on the left side, and authors on the right side;
7. Ensure that the headings on odd pages have the paper’s title on the left side and the name, date and place of the event on the right side.

To make the publication process more efficient, authors of accepted papers should fill in the forms sent by the publications chair on the set dates. Such forms will be sent to the author designated as corresponding author, and should be replied only once by the corresponding author.

Authors should pay attention to the listed references. They should contain the full name of each author (according to the template). References should be enumerated and ordered according to the last name of the first author.

Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format, using the JEMS system.

We strongly encourage authors to be attentive to the accessibility of their papers in digital format. We recommend using CHI 2021’s Guide to an accessible submission and the guide produced by the Núcleo de Acessibilidade e Usabilidade – UNIRIO.

REVIEW AND REBUTTAL PROCESS

Submissions that are not in accordance with the submission guidelines, out of the scope of the symposium, or that were previously submitted or published in any other venue (conference or journal), will be desk-rejected without peer-review. All other submissions will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee.

To increase the interaction between authors and reviewers and to improve the discussion process, there will be a rebuttal process. Authors will have access to the reviews and will be able to argue and answer to reviewers’ enquiries before the final decision to accept or reject papers. The rebuttal is limited to a plain text of up to 4,000 characters. If the submission is accepted, authors must consider the comments in the reviews when preparing the final version of the paper.

PUBLICATION

Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings and indexed at the ACM Digital Library. Publication is subject to the registration of at least one author in the category “Professional” or, when the registration is made in another category, to the payment of an additional publication fee, apart from the registration. Besides, publication is also conditioned to the presentation of the paper during the event.

When more than one publication is linked to the same participant registration, a fee will be charged for each additional paper.

A selection of the best accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended version of the work in the journal Interacting with Computers (IwC) and in the Journal on Interactive Systems (JIS).
