CHI 96 invites experienced members of the CHI community to submit their names to a reviewer database that will be used by the chairs of a number of participation categories to select their reviewers.

There are 5 sections to this form:

  1. Contact Information (required)
  2. Participation Categories (required)
  3. Paper Submission Types (only required if paper reviewing is chosen)
  4. Matching Phrases (required)
  5. Reviewing Background (optional)

Paper Submission Types

Fill out this section only if you selected "Papers Reviewer" as a possible Participation Category above.

Select the types of paper submissions that you would be a good reviewer for. The descriptions are from the Papers section of the CHI 96 Call for Participation.

Empirical Papers
Empirical Papers describe the collection and interpretation of data concerning the design or use of an HCI artifact. Data might include interviews, observations, surveys, or experimental manipulations. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches to data collection and analysis are welcome. Quantitative analyses should include appropriate statistical tests. Review criteria include the appropriateness and rationale for the methods of data collection and analysis, and the significance of the conclusions for practice or research in HCI.
Theory Papers
Theory Papers describe principles, concepts, or models on which work in HCI (empirical, systems, experience, methodology) might be based; authors of theoretical papers are expected to position their ideas within a broad context of HCI frameworks and theories. Review criteria include the originality and soundness of the analysis provided, as well as the relevance of the theoretical content to HCI practice and/or research.
Experience Papers
Experience Papers describe the application of HCI methods, theory or tools to the design or development of an HCI artifact. Review criteria include the value of the reflections abstracted from the experience and their relevance to other designers or to researchers working on related methods, theory or tools.
Methodolgy Papers
Methodology Papers describe a novel method for the design or evaluation of an HCI artifact; the method may be intended for use in research or development settings (or both), but the paper should be clear about the intended audience. Review criteria include the originality and soundness of the method and its usefulness for the intended audience.
Systems Papers
Systems Papers describe the software and technology associated with a novel interactive application, user interface feature, user interface design or development tool. Review criteria include the originality and relevance to other user interface developers of the system's architecture and behavior. Authors should be clear to what extent the system has been implemented. Authors are encouraged to develop a coordinated demonstration or video submission of the system for CHI 96.
Opinion Papers
Opinion Papers present the author's well-supported opinion about some aspect of HCI. Review criteria include the impact and quality of the argumentation, including the experience (research or practice) used to support the opinion. Authors of opinion papers are urged to contact one of the Papers Co-Chairs in advance of submitting a paper, to get feedback on their idea, since CHI rarely accepts opinion papers.
