Dear HCI friends,

Please take a look at our updated Interactions Magazine Submissions guidelines. I'm excited to share these updates with you, and introduce a couple of new submission categories - Waves and Repair.

We are actively seeking submissions, especially in these new categories. For more details please see our Submissions page (link below).

Waves

In this section, we invite reports from conferences, symposia, workshops, and similar events. Submissions should offer a well-synthesized idea, scope, direction or narrative, and contribute to the furthering of an emerging and/or established-but-changing field of inquiry. We particularly invite reports of discussions where the boundaries of HCI and UX are being challenged, and where debate is lively and ongoing.

Repair

This section focuses on things people have built, broken, assembled, or disassembled. We are especially interested in the process behind breaks and repairs, how they have helped in developing and refining ongoing design work. Contributors must submit at least 5 high-quality photos documenting the evolution of the project.

As the Editors-in-Chief of Interactions, we would like to invite you to be a part of shaping public understanding of the ways in which people and computers interact in this exciting publication. More informal than an academic journal, Interactions is a place to share ideas, research, design explorat...

Greetings Interactions readers and authors! We are looking for scholarly commentaries on topics related to HCI and UX to publish on our website as blog posts. Please consider submitting!

https://interactions.acm.org/submissions

Details

Blogs: Blogs are intended for more informal personal reflections on current and topical issues in HCI, UX, and IxD. We actively encourage early ideas, responses to conferences, workshops, symposia, papers, teaching, and learning. Please note we do not publish workshop, symposia, or conference reports—only well synthesized reflections on these events. You can ask questions, promote issues, discuss confusions, provoke curiosity, or vent frustrations and more—anything that would benefit from a perspective that speaks to readers directly. Check out previous articles here: https://interactions.acm.org/blog. Word count: 1200 words max. Any images should have captions that complement the main text (rather than repeating the main text) of up to 30 words. Citations: 6 essential citations max. Authorship list: 4 authors max. Particularly timely, thoughtful, and well-researched blogs may also be published in the print magazine as Blog@IX.

Hello folks in HCI/UX/IxD and associated design areas ....

As you leave the CHI 2024 deadline behind you, think about putting some of those ideas (or ideas you left on the table) out into the world in a more informal format.

We are seeking submissions for Interactions magazine of varying lengths and in varying styles.

Check out https://interactions.acm.org/

We are updating our submission categories, but here are some perennials:

Features: Feature articles can address relevant topics spanning the full breadth of human-computer interaction, use experience, and interaction design, from accounts of hands-on work in design practice or field research, to summaries of new developments in design theory. Word count: 2750 words max. Some feature submissions will be considered for a Cover Story lead feature which is up to 4000 words max.

Exhibit X: This highly visual section highlights new works (artifacts, performances, exhibitions and other projects) that exemplify new and different forms of engagement. In addition to a short description of the project, authors must submit at least three high-quality images with captions. Word count: 100 words max.

Making/Breaking: This section focuses on things people have built, broken, assembled, or disassembled. We want to showcase how making and breaking and reinventing helps in developing and refining ongoing design work. Contributors must submit high-quality photos documenting the evolution of the project. Word count: 500 words max.

What Are You Reading? This section gives HCI practitioners and researchers the opportunity to share what they’ve been reading. Books, articles, magazines—it’s all good, though it is encouraged to select one or two items outside the HCI/interaction design genre. Word count: 500 words max.
