Full papers

Full paper submissions to INTERACT may address any area of human-computer interaction. Each paper will be handled by one of the INTERACT Subcommittees listed below. Upon submission, you will be asked to select the most appropriate Subcommittee, so please consider the list carefully. INTERACT is not welcoming Literature Reviews as they do not fit well with INTERACT paper format. Submissions of that nature will be desk rejected by the paper chairs.

• Full Paper Submission:
  • Paper metadata registration on PCS (title, authors, abstract, and Subcommittee): 25 January 2027, 23:59 (anywhere on earth)
  • Paper submission: 01 February 2027, 23:59 (anywhere on earth)

• Camera-Ready: 07 June 2027, 23:59 (anywhere on earth)

• Reviewing process: Peer-reviewed
• Anonymous submission: Yes. Read about the INTERACT Anonymity Policy
• Length: 18 pages + 4 pages for references in Springer LNCS format
• Video: Optional
• Online Submission: PCS Submissions System
• Maximum total upload size: 300 MB, including all submission files
• Proceedings: Springer LNCS Series
• Full papers are considered for the IFIP TC13 Awards. Read about Awards.

Papers have to be formatted according to the Springer LNCS format. Authors should consult the Springer Authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, to prepare their papers. Springer proceedings LaTeX templates are also available in Overleaf.

Authors should guarantee the anonymity of their submissions, see Anonymity Policy. Full papers may optionally be accompanied by a video not exceeding 30 MB in size. Video stills will be published online and may be used for publicity.

All submissions will receive three full reviews and one meta-review. By submitting to INTERACT, authors commit to contributing to the reviewing process and are required to provide a high-quality peer review when invited by an Associate Chair. Authors who fail to submit an assigned review of sufficient quality by the deadline may have their own submission desk rejected at the discretion of the Program Chairs.

Following the recommendations made during the PC meetings, authors are allowed to extend their submission to accommodate modifications requested by the reviewers and the shepherd, up to 20 pages + 4 pages for references. The paper chair may, in exceptional cases, allow 22 pages + 4 pages for references if it is duly justified in the recommendation sent by the shepherd.

At least one author for each accepted submission must register for the conference to be included in the proceedings. Accepted full papers must be presented at the conference and will be published in Springer LNCS Series.
