Call Description
The Undergraduate Research track aims to showcase the research accomplishments and potential of undergraduate students and to help undergraduates begin to develop a professional network in the creativity and cognition community. Undergraduate students are encouraged to submit a poster, technical demonstration, or artwork for which they are the lead or sole author.
A person submitting to this track must be enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Associate’s degree program or equivalent.
Format and Submission Details
The initial submission for the Creativity & Cognition 2023 Undergraduate Research should include:
(1) A paper in the ACM SIGCHI submission template format (SIGCHI ACM new, standardized single-column format including templates for both LaTeX and Word). The paper should be between 700 and 1200 words, excluding titles, references and figure/table captions. The paper is mandatory (for the submission of a poster, a technical demo, or an artwork). The submission does not need to be anonymized.
(2) A biographical sketch of no more than 600 words. The sketch should be written as a letter of introduction focusing on the applicant’s motivation, expected benefits from participation in the Undergraduate Research track, and requests for feedback from peers and mentors. The biosketch is mandatory.
(3) You can find example posters, demos, art exhibits, and Graduate Student Symposium papers in CC’11 and CC’15 proceedings. They are all 2 pages in 2 column format (including pictures and references).
(4) All accepted submissions will have a space in Gather.Town to present a poster or demo.
Publication and Presentation
Undergraduate Research submissions that are accepted will have the abstract from the submission (150 word max) published in the online conference program and the submission document (between 700 – 1200 words, excluding references) archived in the ACM digital library. Accepted submissions will be presented alongside other content accepted to the associated track. There will be separate sections of Undergraduate Research Posters, Undergraduate Research Demos, and Undergraduate Research Artworks in Gather.Town, each of these positioned next to the main posters, demos and art gallery.
Publications Policy
As a published ACM author, you and your co-authors are subject to all ACM Publications Policies, including ACM’s new Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects.
