Code of Conduct in Reviewing
Thank you so much for serving in various roles for this year’s CHI conference! Your contribution is key to ensuring the high quality of the program. We would like to remind the community of the ACM code of conduct to ensure a high standard in the review and publication processes for the CHI conference.
Over the years, ACM has created, maintained, and updated the ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, known as “The Code”. It has become the global standard for evaluating ethical and professional conduct for the computing community. In the past decades, different types of violations of the Code have been identified, including:
- Misrepresentation or falsification of research
- Plagiarism
- Simultaneous submissions
- Conflict of interest
- Peer reviewer misconduct
- Coercion and harassment-related misconduct
Various penalties have been imposed and will continue to be imposed upon discovery of violations of the ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct.
As the world’s premier conference on Human-Computer Interaction, integrity is part of our fundamental values. It is imperative that each of us conducts ourselves ethically, responsibly, and professionally, and we strongly hope no violations occur. We encourage everyone to thoroughly review the Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct to ensure awareness of any potential breaches and to avoid inadvertently participating in any violations. Let’s work together to create an excellent CHI program!
