Learning & Documentation

Guides academic researchers in framing, structuring, and citing related work sections tailored for ACM CSCW and PACMHCI journal submissions.

The CSCW Related Work skill helps academic researchers and PhD students craft robust, review-resilient literature reviews for ACM CSCW and PACMHCI journal-model publications. It teaches authors how to braid four core literature streams—historical CSCW lineage, modern PACMHCI-era papers, neighboring HCI venues (CHI, ICWSM, GROUP, DIS), and foundational social science theory—while avoiding common pitfalls like renaming established concepts or misidentifying post-2017 journal citations. It includes specific self-citation guidelines to protect author anonymity and provides an automated audit checklist to verify related work sections ahead of initial submission and revise-and-resubmit (R&R) cycles.

Key Features

01Four-stream literature braiding methodology integrating historical lineage, modern PACMHCI work, neighboring venues, and primary social theory
02R&R-ready audit block to evaluate literature coverage, recency snapshots, and theoretical engagement
031,074 GitHub stars
04Anonymity-safe self-citation conventions to prevent structural de-anonymization during blind peer review
05Era-correct citation rules distinguishing pre-2017 conference proceedings from post-2017 PACMHCI journal volumes
06Lineage spine referencing foundational CSCW concepts like articulation work, awareness, and place versus space

Use Cases

01Drafting the related work section for a new ACM CSCW / PACMHCI research submission
02Auditing reference formatting across pre-2017 and post-2017 CSCW publications to fix automated reference manager errors
03Updating literature reviews and handling critical reviewer literature demands during CSCW Revise and Resubmit (R&R) cycles
