ABSTRACT

UPDATED—7 February 2017. This sample paper describes the formatting requirements for SIGCHI conference proceedings, and offers recommendations on writing for the worldwide SIGCHI readership. Please review this document even if you have submitted to SIGCHI conferences before, as some format details have changed relative to previous years. Abstracts should be about 150 words and are required.

INTRODUCTION

This format is to be used for submissions that are published in the conference proceedings.We wish to give this volume a consistent, high-quality appearance. We therefore ask that authors follow some simple guidelines. You should format your paper exactly like this document. The easiest way to do this is to replace the content with your own material.

This document describes how to prepare your submissions using Microsoft Word on a PC or Mac. Specific instructions about accessing menu items in Word refer to the PC version of Word 2013.

paper structure

Structure your paper in the following way:

  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Introduction
  • Optional: Method
  • Results/findings
  • Discussion
  • Conclusion
  • References

FORMATTING RULES

All papers must be submitted in the ACM conference paper style, like this one. The easiest way to do this, is to make a copy of this document, and edit it to replace the content by your own. To avoid copying the fonts of text, copy using the ‘Paste and Match Formatting” command in the Edit menu of MS-Word.

SECTIONS

The heading of a section should be in Arial 9-point bold, all in capitals (Heading 1 style). Sections should not be numbered.

Subsections

Headings of subsections should be in Arial 9-point bold with initial letters capitalized (Heading 2 style). For sub-sections and sub-subsections, a word like the or of is not capitalized unless it is the first word of the heading.

Sub-subsections

Headings for sub-subsections should be in Arial 9-point italic with initial letters capitalized (Heading 3 style).

Figures and Tables and their captions

We encourage the use of visuals that support your argument. Make sure that each figure is numbered, is referred to in the running text of your paper, and carries an explanatory caption (always tell your readers what they should notice in a picture). If you insert photos, don’t make them too large: Figure 1 is only 362 pixels wide, so don’t insert a 4000 pixel full-resolution photo (but you can use a bit more resolution).

Figure 1. Use high-resolution images, 300+ dpi, legible if printed in color or black-and-white. Number all figures and include captions below, using Insert, Caption.

You are allowed to make figures and tables span two columns, but we do not recommend it, because it can be tricky to get the text and pictures on the right spot.

Objects / Caption – pre-2002 / Caption – 2003 and afterwards
Tables / Above / Below
Figures / Below / Below

Table 1. Table captions should be placed below the table. We recommend table lines be 1 point, 25% black. Minimize use of unnecessary table lines.

References

The last section of your paper should be the list of references. The references list shown below contains example references. Make sure your references are complete, i.e., mention at least the authors, title, year of publication, the name of the journal, conference, or book in which it was published, and the page numbers. Journal and book titles are typed in italics.

Tip: Google scholar can often give you a formatted citation in APA format (see the lecture sheets).

In the reference list you should include all the works that you cite in the running text. Not more, not fewer.
