Full and Short Papers
Full Papers and Short Papers
The 20th ACM Interaction Design and Children (IDC) conference 2021 invites paper submissions varying in scope of their contribution. All papers should:
- Report original work not previously published elsewhere;
- Address any of the areas listed in the conference topics (see the Call for Papers with more information about the conference topics);
- Clearly state the contribution(s) in the paper and the abstract.
Contributions making one clear, significant contribution to IDC topics, are more likely to be accepted than those making several lesser contributions. Submissions must identify and cite relevant published work and explain how the paper furthers research within the field of Interaction Design and Children.
- Full Papers are expected to be up to 15 pages
- Short Papers (sometimes referred to as Notes) are expected to be up to 9 pages
Submissions for review should be anonymized and should adhere to the CHI Anonymization Policy. Once accepted for publication, submissions will go through a light second review process.
All accepted IDC 2021 Full & Short Papers are ACM archival publications and will be made available through the ACM Digital Library. Publication of the paper is dependent on there being at least one author of the paper registered and participating in the conference.
