Hello all!  Below is the CFP for the CSCW 2018 online first/interim deadline. I will emphasize one thing that I think is particularly relevant for AOIR-ers: starting with accepted papers for this deadline, CSCW papers will be published in a journal, Proceedings of the ACM. One motivation for this is the hope that it will help open up the community to other disciplines that have incentive structures that have made publishing in archival conference proceedings difficult.


CSCW 2018 Online First - Call for Papers
http://cscw.acm.org/2018

There are two exciting changes in place for COMPUTER-SUPPORTED COOPERATIVE WORK AND SOCIAL COMPUTING  (CSCW). The first is that the conference will be held in Oct/November 2018 (date and US location to be announced soon). The second is that all accepted papers will be published in the new journal Proceedings of the ACM: Human Computer Interaction (PACM). Further, there will be two deadlines for CSCW 2018, the first in April 2017 and the second in Spring 2018.

This CFP is for the first deadline, for papers to be published Online First in the inaugural issue of PACM.

The accepted 2018 Online First will be presented in a format to be determined (regardless of format, there will be explicit recognition of the full paper status), in the 2018 conference at the 2018 ACM Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing in the United States in November, 2018.

CSCW is an international and interdisciplinary research community focused on how technology intersects with social practices. To support diverse and high-quality contributions, CSCW employs a two-phase review process and does not impose an arbitrary length limit on submissions.

IMPORTANT DATES - Submissions for Online First
* April 20, 2017: Abstract due (5:00pm PDT)
* April 27, 2017: Submission due (5:00pm PDT)
* June 12, 2017: First-round notifications (Revise & Resubmit or Reject)
* July 10, 2017: Revised papers due (5:00pm PDT)
* August 6, 2017: Final notifications

We invite authors to submit papers that inform the design or deployment of collaborative or social systems; introduce novel systems, interaction techniques, or algorithms; or study existing collaborative or social practices. The scope of CSCW includes social computing and social media, crowdsourcing, open collaboration, technologically-enabled or enhanced
communication, CSCL, MOOCs, and related educational technologies, multi-user input technologies, collaboration, awareness, information sharing, and coordination. This scope spans socio-technical domains of work, home, education, healthcare, the arts, socializing, and entertainment. Papers can report on novel research results, systems, or new ways of thinking about, studying, or supporting shared activities.

CSCW would particularly like to invite papers that make a contribution to building CSCW systems including (but not limited to) technical enablers for CSCW applications; methods and techniques for new CSCW services and applications; and evaluation of fully-built CSCW systems and lab and field settings.

SUBMISSIONS
Paper submissions must be made via the Precision Conference System
(https://precisionconference.com/~sigchi/) by 5:00pm Pacific Daylight
Time (PDT) on April 27th 2017 (abstracts due the week before, April 20th 2017).

Note that CSCW is moving all publications to the Proceedings of the ACM (PACM). Hence, papers for this interim Online First call will be part of Proceedings of the ACM : Human-Computer Interaction: Volume 1: Issue 1: Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing 2017. This will be the inaugural issue of the PACM.

A second CSCW 2018 review process will take place in Spring 2018 (date to be announced). Papers submitted to that deadline will be referred to as Spring 2018 papers.

The CSCW 2018 Online First published papers will be archived in the ACM Digital Library and will be free for download for up to two years after publication. For more information on this open access model, see:
http://www.sigchi.org/news/open-table-of-contents-a-new-way-to-access-acm-sigchi-publications.

CSCW does not accept submissions that were published previously in formally reviewed publications or that are currently submitted elsewhere.  All papers accepted for CSCW 2018 from either the Online First or subsequent final deadline are expected to be presented at CSCW 2018 by at least one of the authors. The presentation format may differ for Online First papers but is guaranteed to include some form of oral presentation at the conference.

The full call for papers is available at http://cscw.acm.org/2018
