The Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computing Systems (IHC) is the main national event in the area of Human-Computer Interaction. In 2024, it had an H5 of 13 and is growing rapidly. It is an event classified by CAPES in stratum A3 in the four-year period from 2017 to 2020.
There are three Full Paper Tracks: Experience Reports, Innovative Ideas and Emerging Results, and Research. In 2025, these Tracks follow the same calendar and it will not be possible to exchange between them after submission. Therefore, authors are requested to read and analyze the specific information for each Track and submit their work to the most appropriate one.
The three Full Paper Tracks have the same instructions for submission and the papers will go through the same selection process, namely:
Authors must follow the S B C Code of Conduct for Authors in Publications. Read the Code carefully. Furthermore, it stands out:
Submissions must present an original contribution, and not be published in another forum or subject to review in other conferences or journals.
The use of Generative Artificial Intelligence tools and technologies for generating content, in writing and/or reviewing the content of papers, must be explicitly declared in the work.
To make this information easier to find, it is suggested that this statement be placed in the “Acknowledgements” section.
Authors must describe in a section entitled “Ethical care” which ethical procedures were adopted in research involving human beings, following the Norms and Regulatory Guidelines for Research Involving Human Beings – CNS Resolution No. 466/2012, Operational Norm 001/2013, CNS Resolution No. 510/2016 and CNS Resolution No. 674/2022 (for national research).
The CAAE, when relevant, must be omitted in the submission version, due to the double anonymous review. For example: “This project was approved by the Research Ethics Committee under CAAE (omitted for review)”.
Research that involves the processing of personal data for academic purposes must follow the specific rules of the General Personal Data Protection Law (L G P D, Law nº 13,709/2018).
Attention to the ACCESSIBILITY OF THE PAPERS is strongly requested. Visit the accessibility resources page for details on what needs to be done. In addition, the following stand out:
Full Paper Tracks adopt a double anonymous review process. It is recommended that you consult the Quick Guide for Anonymous Submission: protect your identity correctly, published in SBC Horizontes, and authored by Profa. Mirella Moro. Furthermore, it stands out:
Authors are invited to include, in the references of full papers, works by researchers from underrepresented groups and from the global south, including texts published in vehicles from the Brazilian community specializing in the area, such as the proceedings of previous editions of the IHC or papers from the Journal on Interactive Systems.
This is a suggestion that aligns with policies to promote diversity in research and in the production and communication of knowledge in institutional places, however, it is not a requirement for approval or rejection of submitted papers.
Authors are invited to learn about the Grand Challenges of Research in Human-Computer Interaction in Brazil (2025-2035) and to evaluate the relevance of discussing the research in light of these Challenges.
Papers can be written in English or Portuguese. We suggest that papers have between 15 and 20 pages in the submission template.
Although the number of pages is not a requirement for rejection without evaluation (desk rejection), the size of the paper will be evaluated in the review process and must be consistent with its contribution.
Bibliographic references will not be considered in the analysis of the number of pages.
Changing the language (idiom) or name of the authors after submitting the paper will not be permitted.
For submission, the one-column SUBMISSION TEMPLATE will be used, which will be available soon.
Make sure you use the correct submission template. The use of different models or formats may result in desk rejection.
Paper must be submitted electronically in P D F format, using the new version of the J E M S system (version 3).
Papers that, after the 1st review and discussion period, have all revisions classified as Weak Accept and/or Strong Accept will be accepted and notified on the date of the 1st notification. Authors must consider review comments to prepare the final version of the paper.
Papers that, after the 1st period of review and discussion, have all revisions classified as Weak Reject and/or Strong Reject will be rejected and notified on the date of the 1st notification.
The remaining papers will be invited to participate in the review and resubmission process and the authors will be notified by email. The authors will have access to the reviews and will be able to argue and answer the questions indicated, before the final decision of acceptance or rejection. To this end, the authors of each submission must:
Submit the text of the reply in the specific field on the JEMS submission page, limited to plain text of up to 4,000 characters;
Submit a revised version of the paper indicating the changes (for example, yellow marking or text written in blue or red) in P D F format and following all previously defined submission instructions.
After new analysis and discussion by the reviewers, the papers will be accepted or rejected, and notified on the date of the 2nd notification.
Papers that are rejected for publication in the Full Papers Track may be invited for publication and presentation in the Posters and Demonstrations Track.
Questions can be sent directly to the coordination of each Full Paper Track: Experience Reports, Innovative Ideas and Emerging Results, and Research.
Accepted papers will be published in the event proceedings, which will be available at SOL/SBC.
The process for choosing the best papers from the Full Paper Tracks will be available soon.
The authors of the best papers may be invited to submit an extended version in English, with at least 35% original content, in the Journal of the Brazilian Computer Society (JBCS) or Journal on Interactive Systems (JIS).
Papers presentations during the event will be made in person. The coordination of each Track will send emails to the authors specifying the details, including the maximum duration of the presentation and slide models.
