Submissions conflicting with one or more guidelines will be removed before or during the reviewing process.
Submission Format and Platform
All submissions are made through the Precision Conference System (PCS 2.0). The submission site will open in spring 2026.
Submission Template
Details about the submission template will be provided later.
How to submit
Submit only the PDF version of your manuscript to PCS. When generating the PDF file, please make sure that the fonts are embedded in the PDF file. This will ensure that reviewers can view the paper without problems.
Details about how to submit will be published later.
Anonymisation
NordiCHI adheres to the CHI anonymization policy that can be found here. In summary, all submissions must be anonymized according to the following guidelines:
- Authors’ names and affiliations must not appear in the paper. Make sure that author identities are not accidentally disclosed in file meta-data or by supplementary material.
- Acknowledgements should be anonymized or removed during review.
- Self-citations must use the third person (e.g., “as shown in Smith et al. [2]”) rather than “our previous work.”
Failure to follow these guidelines may result in desk rejection.
Copyright
Your submission must be original work. It cannot have been published elsewhere, nor can it be under concurrent review for publication by another conference or journal. All references must be complete, accurate, accessible to the HCI public, and conform to the Conference Proceedings Publication Format. Do not cite publications that are proprietary or confidential at the time of publication.
Final camera-ready versions of accepted submissions must be accompanied by a signed copyright form which will be provided to accepted authors.
Accessibility
Authors are asked to make their submitted manuscript accessible (so reviewers with vision impairments can read them). The authors of accepted papers will be required to make their final PDFs accessible. Please use the SIGCHI Guide to an Accessible Submission for detailed instructions.
Authors are encouraged to make all parts of their submission accessible. Helpful guidelines and suggestions can be found here:

- The ACM Technical Requirements and Guidelines for Videos: https://sigchi.org/conferences/author-resources/video-guide/ see in particular the information on accessibility and closed-captions, under “Key Requirements”, “Closed Captions”, and “What accessibility considerations should I pay attention to when recording my video?”
Use of Generative AI-tools in preparing submissions
All submissions must comply with the ACM policy on the usage of GenAI (Sept 2025); see the accompanying Frequently Asked Questions for details.
Text generated from large-scale language models (LLMs) must be clearly marked where used for purposes beyond editing the author’s own text. Authors should include a GenAI Usage Disclosure section, placed before the references, documenting all use of GenAI tools in the research and writing. This section will not count toward the word limit.
Papers with unmarked LLM-generated text may be desk rejected.
Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects
Any research involving human participants must comply with the ethics review requirements of the authors’ research environment. Authors should include a short note for reviewers explaining this context. Please also see the 2021 ACM Publications policy on research involving human participants and subjects.
