The review process attempts to ensure that papers are assessed rigorously and without bias by applying the same comprehensive set of criteria to every paper. Contribution to the field of HCI and benefit thus to be gained. It should also make clear to what extent a solution or answer has been achieved and how the audience can thus benefit, now or in the future. A review of other published work related to the paper topic should be included. The paper should discuss the extent to which the benefits could be generalized beyond the context in which the work was done.
Preference is given to one strong contribution rather than several lesser ones.
Validity of the results. It should be clear that the work has been carried out to a standard that permits HCI researchers and practitioners to take up the results with some confidence. Attention should accordingly be paid to demonstrating that empirical work, whether quantitative or qualitative, has been carefully planned and carried out. Likewise, there should be sound and well-justified rationale for decisions taken during the design and development of systems, tools, techniques, and methods. The outcome of these decisions should be assessed in some way against the stated problem.
