Here's my analysis of reviews produced for #chi2023 and the review process in phase 1. tl/dr better reviews approach 1000 words, and 1/3 of papers are not producing reviews, 2/3 are not producing enough (!)

Associate Professor at University of Nottingham studying #MentalWorkload (often with #fNIRS) - CHI Steering Committee and IHJCS deputy editor. CHI2023/24 Papers Chair
Exciting data summary from #chi2023 papers chair Julie Williamson to help interpret where your round 1 recommendations put you in relation to the whole set. Remember: Accept was not one of the threshold outcomes. Also: you dont have to make suggested changes, and can rebut issues.

@mjskay@fediscience.org @chi@hci.social someone would abuse it though and put 500 comments in the document
I run a meme-of-the-week open challenge for students to submit a meme that’s relevant to the weeks learning outcomes of my classes. Makes Mondays 5pm classes more fun.
This got submitted this week… 🙃
interesting update of the week - ive been invited to give a keynote at a chemical engineering conference (?). Ive told them my speaker fee and minimum expense expectations. lets see what happens...
@mjskay@fediscience.org @chi@hci.social you’re looking for further ways to circumvent? Interesting strategy.
@mjskay@fediscience.org @chi@hci.social it was introduced a couple of years ago after some people produced 30page+ response documents that reviewers and ACs complained about. What we want is the reasoning. And a track change version. Not a page of discussion about every change. It’s workload management. There was options for managing lengths limits and workloads I guess, but a limited space explanation was favoured.
Led by @CSchneegass, our #MobileHCI2023 workshop on Cognitive Personal Informatics has been accepted! Look out for a cfp coming next week - research about what wearables will track about our cognitive activity. For now you can read more here on the topic https://medium.com/@cogpi/cognitive-personal-informatics-4f86910624bc #cogpi
Consumer #Neurotechnology is arriving en masse. So what is Cognitive Personal Informatics?

Ive been meaning to this for a while. After our #chi2022 discussion forum, we're planning a series of follow up posts and events.
@alarith@hci.social awesome! Thanks for all this info 👍
I’m not bothering with mastodon. I’m drmaxlwilson on bluesky.
@andresmh@hci.social yeah. But we have already gone past the normal growth level, ahead of the deadline. In terms of abstracts at least. We’ll see in terms of actual papers next week I guess.
@andresmh@hci.social and it looks like you were right :)
@mjskay@fediscience.org interesting. I was told last years guidance told people that 8000 was the minimum that would be accepted. But thanks for the feedback
