Author Guidelines
Format: All submissions need to follow ACM single column format. Please ensure that you use the correct template; a single-column format must be used for the reviewing phase. Use of different templates or formats may result in desk rejection. Please find the templates for format here
LaTeX OR Overleaf Please note that the default template is set for 2-column and needs to be manually changed to 1-column for initial review using \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart}
Word - Please note that the Microsoft Word Template contains invisible meta-tags related to the paper format and structure. While writing the paper authors are requested to add their content without altering any format and structure of the template.
Paper Length: Contributions can be up to 8 pages excluding references.
Originality: Your submission must be original; it cannot be published or under concurrent review elsewhere. If you make multiple submissions to India HCI 2025 Papers, they must be distinct from each other.
Anonymity: Your submission must be anonymized; please ensure that your submission conforms to the Anonymization Policy. Papers that violate the anonymization policy, including within the supplemental materials or external links to datasets, code repositories, etc., will be desk rejected.
Videos: Videos accompanying submissions can be submitted through the India HCI EasyChair Electronic Submission Site as supplementary material (max 100 MB in size). Although papers must stand on their own, submitted videos will be available to reviewers as supporting material. Authors should note that no specific guidelines are given for developing a video. Videos are viewed only as supporting material, and authors of accepted papers will have the opportunity to prepare a more polished final video presentation for inclusion in the proceedings and as supplemental material in the ACM Digital Library. Authors should note that videos too need to maintain anonymity for the review process. Authors are free to update the video once their submission is accepted, if they wish to disclose themselves in the videos.
When submitting your video for review, please encode your video in a format that works across as many platforms as possible without the installation of additional codecs. Please note that the total aggregate size for a submission must not exceed 100 MBytes (including all documents and additional material).
Reviewing process: Each paper will be subjected to rigorous review by two Associate Chairs (from the program committee) and two external reviewers (experts in the area that are not on the committee). Contact authors will be sent notifications and reviews by September 9.
All acceptances will be conditional pending changes that the papers committee may suggest or require for the final camera-ready draft of the paper. The primary author of each accepted paper will receive detailed instructions on how to submit a final, publication-ready version of the paper. The paper will not be formally accepted to India HCI until authors revise it and submit a final draft for approval by the programme committee. Some submissions may be asked to undergo a more intense shepherding process in order to bring them to the standard required for India HCI. The deadline for submitting the “camera ready” version after all changes will be September 10. Additionally, at least one author of each paper needs to register for the conference by this date.
Reviewing Process:
Each paper will be subjected to rigorous review by two SRC Associate Chairs (from the programme committee) and two external reviewers (experts in the area who are not on the committee). The final decision for accepting or rejecting a paper will be made in a PC meeting, after which the authors will be notified of the decisions. Contact authors will be sent the final reviews for their papers by August 28, 2025.

At the Conference:
Authors of all accepted SRC Papers are required to present their work at the main conference. Details about the presentation will be given to the authors of accepted papers. The conference is exclusively held in person without a hybrid option. However, individuals residing outside India have the option to deliver their presentations remotely if necessary. Remote presentation is not available for other tracks or individuals residing within India.
Authorship:
Although AI tools such as ChatGPT can be safely used for editing author-generated content, their use in content generation is strongly discouraged. While we won't actively employ tools to identify text generated by any of the AI tools, we will investigate submissions brought to our attention. All authors are expected to take responsibility for any concerns regarding the accuracy or integrity of their submitted work.
