Latex Copyright Block for Accepted Submissions

Please follow the instructions that are linked below, according to the template you are using:

Given the many problems with the Paper templates for CHI 2019, especially with the Word template, we have decided to go back to a slight variant of the CHI 2018 template for CHI 2020. Please use the templates below when submitting Papers only. For other submission types, please see the CHI Extended Abstracts format (below). There are three (3) options available:

  • LaTeX Template for Papers – Download .zip (updated: 03.06.19)
  • Overleaf project Template please check your PDF for spurious characters (including the references block) and fix them before submission. (updated: 01.06.19)
  • LaTeX citations: Please use \bibliographystyle{SIGCHI-Reference-Format} to produce numerical citations (i.e., do not alter the bibliography style currently used in the template).
  • Microsoft Word Template for PapersDownload .docx (updated: 01.06.19)
  • PDF Example for PapersDownload .pdf (generated with LaTeX, updated: 03.06.19)

Note: if you use the LaTeX template, to add a teaser image, please use  \teaser{ … } instead of \begin{teaserfigure} … \end{teaserfigure}, and make sure it is placed before \maketitle.
