Important
ACM e-Rights process
After acceptance, the corresponding author will receive an email request to complete the ACM e-Rights form. The information (authors, affiliations, emails) you provide in the ACM e-Rights form will be used in the final published article, so ensure it is correct and matches the data submitted to PCS. Please check your inbox and spam folder, and pay special attention to emails from rightsreview@acm.org.
ACM Template
Authors must use the ACM Primary Article Proceeding Templates: https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow
Upload your accepted work to both TAPS and PCS
Submit your camera-ready paper to TAPS and PCS as instructed, and supplementary materials through the ACM Artifact Submissions form. TAPS will generate the final publication files. During the TAPS process, please pay special attention to emails from tapsadmin@aptaracorp.awsapps.com.
More details
Please find more details on the mandatory steps below:
1. Complete the ACM e-Rights form by July 22nd, 2026
The corresponding author will soon receive an email from ACM Rights Review (rightsreview@acm.org) with a link to the electronic ACM copyright-permission form (e-Rights) for completion. You must complete and submit the e-Rights form by July 22nd, 2026. Please note that you are NOT allowed to change the list of authors or the submission title. Remember to also add funding information. Upon completing the form, you will receive a confirmation email.
PLEASE NOTE: The information (authors, affiliations, emails) you provide in the e-Rights form will be used in the final published article, so ensure it is correct and matches the data submitted to PCS. The e-Rights data will override the data that is in the submitted article. Once submitted, these details are very difficult to change.
2. Note the new ACM OPEN publishing model
Please note that Research papers and Critical Writings are eligible for Article Processing Charge (APC). All other submissions will be published under ACM Open Access as “Extended Abstracts” and will not be subject to an APC.
ACM has introduced a new open access publishing model for the International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). Authors based at institutions that are not yet part of the ACM Open program and do not qualify for a full geographic waiver will be required to pay an article processing charge (APC) to publish their ICPS article in the ACM Digital Library. To determine whether or not an APC will be applicable to your article, please follow the detailed guidance here: https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/author-guidance.
Further information may be found on the ACM website, as follows:
Full details of the new ICPS publishing model: https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/faq
Full details of the ACM Open program: https://www.acm.org/publications/openaccess
Please direct all questions about the new model to icps-info@acm.org.
PLEASE NOTE: charges for ACM OPEN are based on the corresponding author of your paper, as you set it in e-Rights. If that author’s institution is not an ACM OPEN member, then an APC may be charged. If your paper has authors from other institutions that are ACM OPEN members but your current corresponding author is not, then you can change the corresponding author of your paper.
3. Upload your paper to TAPS and PCS by August 7th, 2026
Upload the camera-ready version of your paper to TAPS:
The corresponding author can expect an email from TAPS (tapsadmin@aptaracorp.awsapps.com) within 24 hours after completing the e-Rights form. Your submission’s camera-ready version must be generated with the ACM Publishing System (TAPS) and include accessible figure descriptions. You must make all necessary modifications while respecting the reviewers’ comments to your paper and upload the file to TAPS by August 7th, 2026. Note that this is the initial upload deadline, and TAPS might require you to re-upload your files several times after that. Do NOT approve the proof in TAPS if it still requires modifications. No extensions will be given to the initial upload deadline. If you fail to submit your material on time, it will be removed from the conference program. The TAPS team will handle accessibility tagging.
PLEASE NOTE: Do not upload your supplementary files (e.g., code, video) to TAPS. All extra files uploaded to TAPS will be ignored in the process, but this will slow down processing. See the next steps for instructions related to supplementary files.
Upload the camera-ready version of your paper to PCS:
Upload the PDF version of your camera-ready paper to PCS by August 7th, 2026 (i.e., the same PDF that you upload to TAPS). This version will be used for Track Chairs or ACs to check the final version of the paper. See “Final Preparation of Camera-Ready Submission” above.
4. Upload supplementary materials (if any) through the ACM Artifact Submissions form by August 7th, 2026
If you have supplementary material that was included in your original submission and accepted for publication, upload it through the ACM Artifact Submissions form. Please do not add supplementary material that was not reviewed.
In the e-Rights form, answer “yes” to questions related to supplementary materials; if you answer “no”, your materials will not be published. You will receive a link to the ACM Artifact Submissions form in the TAPS instructions email. The correct DOI should be pre-populated in the form; if it is not, please enter the correct DOI so that the supplementary materials are linked to your paper. Please select the most appropriate type for your material in the drop-down menu. A zip file should only be used when it keeps separate but related files together, such as software; otherwise, upload the supplementary file as-is, for example as an mp4, pdf, or pptx. Where possible, please keep supplementary materials to 2GB or smaller.
5. Ensure accessibility needs at the conference are met
If you have specific accessibility needs to present your work, the Diversity and Inclusion Chairs would appreciate a heads-up by email (nordichi2026accessibility@uwasa.fi) as soon as possible. Also, make your official request during registration.
6. Register to the conference by August 10th, 2026, and present your work
The NordiCHI 2026 requires that at least one author of an accepted submission register and attend the conference to present the submission in person. Otherwise, the submission will be removed from the conference program and the ACM Digital Library. The conference program, including the scheduled time of your presentation, will be available on the conference website in August. Further details regarding presentation arrangements will be provided closer to the conference. Please note that NordiCHI 2026 has no hybrid or remote attendance. To help you navigate NordiCHI 2026, please see https://sites.uwasa.fi/nordichi2026/practical-information/how-to-navigate-nordichi-2026/
PLEASE NOTE: We urge all authors to register by August 10, 2026. Conference registration is available at https://sites.uwasa.fi/nordichi2026/registration/
