Junia Coutinho Anacleto Award

Submissions must be made using the JEMS system. Each submission must include the following mandatory documents (1, 2, and 3), in pdf format:

• Paper: the text must follow the instructions for writing and formatting articles. The focus of the text is to present all the research carried out during the master’s, doctoral, or undergraduate project. Therefore, the document should not contain only partial results but rather a summarized and critical overview of the entire project. The text must be original, that is, specifically elaborated for the competition, explicitly presenting the following elements:

1. 1. • Title and identification: the title of the defended research and authorship (student and advisor(s)) indicating the institution where the work was defended; the title may be different from the defended research if a paper has already been published with the same title;
      • Research problem: contextualization and description of the problem investigated in the thesis, dissertation, or scientific initiation/undergraduate thesis;
      • Produced solution: solution (conceptual, methodological, technical, etc.) to the stated research problem;
      • Method: explanation and justification of the adopted method(s) for conducting the research;
      • Results and discussion: synthesis of the obtained results, their implications (for theory and practice), relationships with existing literature, etc;
      • Contributions to the HCI area: defense of the originality, impact, and contributions (methodological, state-of-the-art, theoretical, technical) of the research to knowledge in HCI, including research products and sub-products (for example: papers, patents, software records, artifacts, technical reports, etc.);
      • Ethical considerations: explanation and justification of how ethical issues related to the research were addressed, according to event-specific guidelines;
      • Conclusion: outlining the main conclusions resulting from the research, its limitations, threats to validity, research developments, feasibility of future work, etc.

• Full text of the defended thesis, dissertation, or undergraduate work. The full text will essentially serve as a reference source for the research results and details reported in the paper;

• Proof of approval: scanned copy of the diploma or document (e.g., defense minutes) that proves the defense and approval of the work by the evaluation board.

It is important that the paper (Item 1) defend the relevance of the theme and results and the main research challenges. The originality and robustness of the method must be evidenced in the text, as well as the ethical issues of the research.

When applicable, also indicate research by-products (e.g., patents, registered programs, public/free domain programs), papers published or accepted for publication, promotional videos, as well as any other elements that help justify the research being considered one of the best in the country in the area of HCI.

Authors must follow the Code of Conduct for Authors in Brazilian Computing Society’s Publications.
