ACM CHIIR 2022 invites submissions focused on user-centered approaches to the design and evaluation of systems for information access, seeking, retrieval, and use. Contributions may explore improvements to existing systems and interfaces; propose novel theories, models, and systems; or focus on understanding individual and group interactions with information and information systems. CHIIR is a multi-disciplinary research meeting. In addition to studies of interactive systems, information interaction, and retrieval, we encourage submissions on related topics such as human-human information interaction, novel interaction paradigms, new evaluation methods, and related research in a range of communities such as sociology, ethnography, psychology, and human-computer interaction. We welcome submissions using a wide range of quantitative and qualitative research methods. ACM CHIIR operates under the ACM Conference Code of Conduct.

High quality, original research of relevance to CHIIR may be submitted as a full paper (maximum 9 pages + references). Submissions should include an analysis or evaluation using rigorous techniques such as laboratory studies, field experiments, in situ observational studies or other rigorous qualitative methods, crowdsourcing, simulations of information interactions, or log analysis. Authors should describe their methods, specific techniques, and search context in sufficient detail to allow for replication and reuse. Accepted full papers will be published in the proceedings and presented at the conference.
As a special category of full papers (maximum 9 pages + references), perspective papers should present novel ideas or insights concerning approaches, key challenges, or theoretical or methodological issues that have the potential to inspire substantive discussion and lead to significant advances in the field. These papers should not consist primarily of literature reviews or the presentation of stand-alone studies, but may take the form of:
Accepted perspectives papers will be published in the proceedings and presented at the conference.
Short papers (maximum 4 pages + references) should report on original, significant, high-quality research. Possible formats for short papers include works in progress, preliminary research analyses, case studies, narrowly focused studies, or late-breaking results. Accepted short papers will be published in the proceedings, and presented as virtual posters at the conference. Short papers will also get a pre-recorded 3 minute presentation.
We welcome two types of submissions (both maximum 4 pages + references).
Appropriate presentation technologies will be facilitated for all demonstrations and resources. Accepted demonstration/resource papers will be included in the conference proceedings.
CHIIR 2022 is pleased to invite proposals for satellite workshops to be held in conjunction with the main conference.
CHIIR 2022 workshops provide a platform for presenting novel ideas and emerging areas in Interactive IR, Information Seeking or Interfaces for Information Access in a less formal, more interactive, and potentially more focused way than the main conference itself. Workshop topics typically match those identified in the CHIIR 2022 general call for contributions, but proposals related to other areas of Human Information Interaction and Interactive Information Retrieval are welcome as well. The format of each workshop is to be determined by the organisers and can be either full-day or half-day. We encourage workshops that foster collaboration, discussion, group problem-solving and community building initiatives. Workshops that only revolve around the presentation of papers in a "mini conference" format are discouraged.
Researchers and practitioners from IR, HCI, Information Science or any related discipline are invited to submit proposals for review. The organisers of approved workshops will be expected to define the workshop’s focus, gather and review submissions, and decide upon the final program content. At least two organizers are expected to attend and run the entire workshop.
The workshop proposal should be one or two PDFs with the following parts:
Proposals should be submitted to EasyChair:https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=chiir2022
Workshop proposals will be reviewed according to: (1) novelty of the topics, (2) relevance to the CHIIR community, (3) quality of workshop planning, (4) potential to generate future research output. Reviewers will be selected by the workshop chairs from the pool of Senior Programme Committee Members.
Deadlines refer to 23:59 (11:59pm) in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone.
Please use the ACM Proceedings format with Word and LaTeX templates here: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template .
Submissions for workshops will be single-blind reviewed, and should not be anonymized.
Workshop proposals should be submitted to EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=chiir2021..

CHIIR 2022 is pleased to invite proposals for tutorials to be given in conjunction with the conference. The goal of the tutorials is to provide conference attendees, including early-career researchers and researchers crossing-over from related disciplines, with an opportunity to learn about concepts and techniques for research into user-centered aspects of information interaction and information retrieval. Tutorials also serve as a venue to share presenters’ expertise with the global community of user-centered information retrieval researchers and practitioners. Tutorials focus on specific topics including, but not limited to:
Tutorials could be either full-day or half-day, and the length of your proposed tutorial should be commensurate with the presented materials and the projected interest of the CHIIR community in the tutorial topic. We actively encourage both researchers and industry practitioners to submit tutorial proposals that target different levels of expertise and different interests. We also encourage the submission of hands-on tutorials that combine theoretical concepts with practical exercises.
The tutorial proposal should be one or two PDFs with the following parts:
Proposals should be submitted to EasyChair:https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=chiir2022
Tutorial proposals will be reviewed according to: (1) ability of the tutorial to contribute to strengthening the foundations of research into user-centered aspects of information interaction and information retrieval, or to broadening the field to look at important new challenges and techniques, (2) experience and skill of the presenter(s), and (3) the value of any materials released with the tutorial for the community.
Deadlines refer to 23:59 (11:59pm) in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone.
Please use the ACM Proceedings format with Word and LaTeX templates here: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template .

The CHIIR Doctoral Consortium (DC), held in conjunction with the main conference, provides an opportunity for doctoral students working in the areas of user-centered approaches to the design and evaluation of systems for information access, retrieval, and use to present and discuss their research with experienced researchers and other doctoral students in a seminar format. We welcome submissions representing a broad spectrum of research topics relevant to the CHIIR community, including research on information (seeking and searching) behaviour (IB), human computer interaction (HCI), and information retrieval (IR).
The Doctoral Consortium (DC) focuses on advising students regarding their research and careers. In addition, the DC provides students with an opportunity to establish a supportive community, including other doctoral students working in related areas or at a similar stage of their dissertation research.
The Doctoral Consortium is targeted to students halfway through their PhD program. At a minimum, students should have formulated their research problem, suggested methods, and at a maximum, to have submitted some of the early PhD work for publication.
The 2022 DC will be held online. While the main conference is hybrid, there is not an effective method for running the DC in a hybrid mode, and as such will be entirely online.
Students submit a paper detailing their PhD research. For the Doctoral Consortium (DC) to be maximally useful to the student, the paper will represent their proposed PhD work with enough time remaining in the PhD program for feedback to be useful. In other words, the DC is not appropriate for students who are nearly finished with their PhD.
The submitted paper, solely authored by the student, will be the basis for detailed discussions at the Doctoral Consortium. To get the most out of the discussion, it should include:
In addition, a one page appendix to the paper (placed after the references) must include the following:
If accepted, the appendix is not included in the published version of the paper.
Length: Maximum of 4 pages including the references, and excluding the appendix.
DC papers are not anonymous and should be submitted showing the author's name and affiliation and follow the conference guidelines.
Papers should be submitted to EasyChair.
Submissions will be reviewed by the Doctoral Consortium program committee. The review of each proposal will take into account its originality, its potential for advancing the CHIIR-related research, and whether the work is at a stage where the student can benefit from participating in the consortium, in addition to general clarity in writing and structure. Rejected submissions will receive written feedback. While the submissions are not anonymous, confidentiality of submissions will be maintained throughout the review process.
Participation requires an accepted proposal and presentation at the Doctoral Consortium. PhD students will be notified of the result of their submission by 7 December 2021. Accepted students will receive instructions on how to submit a camera-ready copy of their proposal to be included in the conference proceedings, as well as information on the preparation of the presentation.
Deadlines refer to 23:59 (11:59pm) in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone.
Please contact the chairs if you have any questions.
CHIIR will also feature Industry Sessions with speakers sharing application perspectives on interacting with information access systems. We welcome proposals for presentations for the Industry Sessions sent to jkarlgren@spotify.com.
Accepted workshop and tutorial proposal papers will be included in the conference proceedings.
