UIST Paper Topic Selection
Evaluates interface systems research projects against UIST contribution standards and guides paper routing between UIST, CHI, and adjacent HCI venues.
UIST Topic Selection helps human-computer interaction (HCI) researchers and systems builders determine whether an academic project meets the interface-systems contribution threshold for ACM UIST. By applying the artifact-subtraction test, scoring projects across a structured 12-point fit ledger, and contrasting UIST expectations against venues like CHI, CSCW, IMWUT, TEI, ISMAR, and IUI, this skill prevents costly routing mistakes and ensures research is pitched with the right technical evidence before paper deadlines.
Key Features
01Artifact-subtraction test to isolate core interface engineering contributions from user study findings
02Pre-configured routing guidance to redirect non-artifact work to CSCW, IMWUT, TEI, ISMAR, IUI, or TOCHI
03Detailed CHI vs. UIST comparison matrix covering evidence standards, novelty types, and reviewer juries
04Standardized evaluation output format for actionable conference targeting recommendations
0512-point fit ledger evaluating novelty, technical depth, demonstrability, and community reuse
061,090 GitHub stars
Use Cases
01Evaluating early-stage HCI project pitches to ensure the planned implementation meets UIST technical depth standards
02Deciding whether to submit an interactive system paper to UIST or CHI before submission deadlines
03Diagnosing paper rejection feedback to re-frame and route research artifacts to the most appropriate academic venue
