Blind Reviewing and Paper Anonymity
The CHI 2008 Papers and Notes review process will continue to use blind reviewing. As in previous years, we will use a relaxed model that does not attempt to conceal all traces of identity from the body of the paper. Authors are expected to remove author and institutional identities from the title and header areas of the paper, as noted in the submission instructions. Further suppression of identity in the body of the paper is left to the authors' discretion. We do expect that authors leave citations to their previous work unanonymized, so that reviewers can ensure that all previous research has been taken into account by the authors.

Contribution and Benefits Statement
CHI authors are expected to develop a 30-word contribution and benefits (C&B) statement for their Papers and Notes. The statement describes the contribution made by the paper to HCI and the benefit that readers can gain from it. This statement will be entered when the paper is submitted. It will be seen and assessed by reviewers along with the paper.

Extended Abstract Format    

portrait This template should be used for submitting courses, workshops, case studies, doctoral consortium, panels, interactivity, SIGs, works-in-progress, and the student design competition. Please see the HCI Archive Format for submitting CHI Papers and CHI Notes.
