CHI 2017 - CHI'17 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

The CHI conference employs different selection processes to apply appropriate quality assurance for each type of content that appears in the CHI Technical Program. The different selection processes and respective publication categories provide different allowances for republication of that content in other contexts. The CHI processes are consistent with the ACM policy on Categories of publications as described in the ACM Policy on Pre-Publication Evaluation.
CHI uses the following selection processes:
Refereed content is rigorously reviewed by members of the program committee and peer experts. The process includes an opportunity for authors to respond to referees' critiques. The program committee may ask authors for specific changes as a condition of publication. Papers and Notes are refereed content.
Juried content is also reviewed by a committee and external experts in a less rigorous process that does not include an author's response or conditional acceptance. Juried content is generally not required to make the same level of lasting and significant contribution to our knowledge and understanding as refereed content. The following tracks contain juried content: Works-in-Progress, Case Studies, alt.chi, Workshops, Panels, SIG meetings and some Interactivity selections.
Curated content is highly selective but generally does not follow a reviewing process by a committee. Curated content may be selected from submissions or invited by the track chairs. The following tracks contain curated content: Videos, SIGs, Courses, Doctoral Consortium, some Interactivity selections, Student Design Competition and Student Research Competition.
