Important update on ACMs new open access publishing model for 2026 ACM Conferences!

Starting January 1, 2026, ACM will fully transition to Open Access. All ACM publications, including those from ACM-sponsored conferences, will be 100% Open Access. Authors will have two primary options for publishing Open Access articles with ACM: the ACM Open institutional model or by paying Article Processing Charges (APCs). With over 1,800 institutions already part of ACM Open, the majority of ACM-sponsored conference papers will not require APCs from authors or conferences (currently, around 70-75%). Authors from institutions not participating in ACM Open will need to pay an APC to publish their papers, unless they qualify for a financial or discretionary waiver. To find out whether an APC applies to your article, please consult the list of participating institutions in ACM Open and review the APC Waivers and Discounts Policy. Keep in mind that waivers are rare and are granted based on specific criteria set by ACM. Understanding that this change could present financial challenges, ACM has approved a temporary subsidy for 2026 to ease the transition and allow more time for institutions to join ACM Open. The subsidy will offer:

This represents a 65% discount, funded directly by ACM. Authors are encouraged to help advocate for their institutions to join ACM Open during this transition period. This temporary subsidized pricing will apply to all conferences scheduled for 2026.

Submission Formatting Guidelines for UIST 2026

UIST 2026 will have a page limit instead of a word limit. Therefore, we ONLY accept submissions in the 2-column format. We understand that this means authors working in Word may require additional help as they prepare their camera-ready documents; the Proceedings and Accessibility Chairs can assist in coordinating this (proceedings2026@uist.org, accessibility2026@uist.org).

Your submission must be original. UIST only accepts original submissions. This means that your submission cannot have been published in another peer-reviewed venue or be under concurrent review at another peer-reviewed venue. Similarly, if you make multiple submissions to UIST 2026 Papers, their contributions must be distinct & self-contained from each other. Please refer to the author guide for details. Additionally, authors should avoid generating content using AI agents (e.g., LLMs such as ChatGPT or similar), but the usage of these tools is allowed for editing and checking the author’s own text. Revised Papers from Prior Submissions: To ensure consistency of the review process, we encourage authors of previously rejected papers to upload the prior version of the paper, corresponding reviews, and summary of changes from the last round of submission as part of the UIST 2026 paper submission process.

Submission Information

Submission Platform
  • All required materials must be submitted electronically to PCS by the abstract and paper deadline.
  • In PCS, first click “Submissions” at the top of the page, from the dropdown menus for society, conference, and track select “SIGCHI”, “UIST 2026” and “UIST 2026 Papers”, respectively, and press “Go.” This track will be opened a few weeks before the submission deadline.
Submission Format and Length
  • Required Paper PDF and source files
  • We will adopt the ACM TAPS Workflow .
  • For LaTeX authors, submissions should be in the double-column format (example PDF ) using \documentclass[sigconf,review,anonymous]{acmart}. (please use the downloadable LaTex template or the Overleaf template ).
  • For Word authors, submissions should be in the double-column format (submission template , example PDF ).
  • Page limit: UIST papers can either be standard length papers (10 pages) OR short papers (5 pages). A standard length paper represents a substantial contribution which has been thoroughly explored. A short paper represents a smaller contribution which has been thoroughly explored: short papers are NOT works-in-progress. A new idea presented in a compact format is more likely to be accepted than the same idea in a long format, and shorter, more focused papers are encouraged.
    • After rebuttal and conditional acceptance, authors may add up to 10% of the length of their paper in addressing reviewers’ requests (i.e., up to 1 extra page for a standard length paper, up to 0.5 extra page for a short paper).
  • References and appendices are excluded from the page count, but should be included in the submitted PDF.
  • Size: < 20 MB (compressed PDF files are encouraged during submission)
Accompanying Video
  • Optional, but highly encouraged
  • Resolution of 1080p (1920 x 1080) or 4k (3840 x 2160 px), encoded as MP4 using the H.264 codec
  • No more than 5 minutes long
  • Size: < 250 MB
  • Subtitles are required using a separate .srt or .sbv file
Maximum File Size
  • Maximum total size for all files < 300 MB
Anonymity
  • Anonymous, i.e. authors must remove their names and affiliations throughout all submission materials (paper, videos, supplementary material) (anonymity policy )
  • Discuss your own prior work in 3rd person and include a full reference with names.
Selection Process
  • Refereed, i.e. the program committee and two external reviewers will review submitted papers
Publication
  • Archival, i.e. accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library and distributed in digital form to conference attendees
Desk Rejection / Assisted Desk Rejection policy
  • Papers, where the length is incommensurate with contribution or the stated length of the submission (i.e., short paper vs. standard length papers), will be desk rejected. Submissions of more than 5 pages for short papers or 10 pages for standard papers will be desk rejected if their length is not justified.
  • Anonymization Policy. Authors are expected to anonymize their identities in the body of the paper but leave citations to their previous work unanonymized so that reviewers can ensure that all previous research has been taken into account by the authors. Authors are required to cite their own work in the third person, e.g., avoid “As described in our previous work [10], …” and use instead “As described by Chetty et al. [10], …”. Papers that violate the anonymization policy by explicitly and unequivocally identifying the authors (i.e., beyond allowing the reviewers to simply "guess"), including within the supplemental materials or external links to datasets, code repositories, etc., will be desk rejected. Any supplementary material (including the video) should also adhere to the anonymity rule.
  • Your submission must be original; it cannot be published or under concurrent review elsewhere. If you have any concurrent submissions to UIST or other venues that are closely related – i.e., are based on the same study, artifact, or dataset – you must include an anonymized version of that submission to the concurrent submissions field. Failure to do so will result in desk rejection. Please see ACM guide on prior and simultaneous submissions .
  • Research Quality and Lack of Relevant Context: Papers must include sufficient detail for reviewers to evaluate research quality according to the norms and expectations of the UIST community. Papers should demonstrate clear connections to existing research literature in HCI and related fields, showing how the work builds upon or relates to prior work. Papers that lack adequate methodological details for proper evaluation, or that fail to engage with relevant prior research, may be desk rejected.
  • Your paper must be stand alone. Authors are encouraged to provide supplementary materials to support practices around research reproducibility as much as possible, however all important information to understand the contributions of your work must be in the main paper PDF. Heavy reliance on appendices and/or supplementary materials can be a ground for rejection including desk rejection.
  • Please ensure that you use the correct template and correct formatting of references. We require submitted papers to be in the 2-column format. Use of other templates or formats, including different citation styles, may result in desk rejection.
  • Similar to CHI 2026, we will also be implementing Assisted Desk Rejection —a process in which a paper is collaboratively determined by ACs and Program Chairs as not suitable for peer review—for papers that feature any of the following issues:
    • Grossly insufficient literature review to contextualize and/or evaluate the proposed novelty/contribution to HCI. This is not to say that all papers must cite other UIST papers, but papers should cite scholarly literature that relates to HCI in some way.
    • Grossly insufficient details provided to demonstrate research and methodological transparency and clarity, including insufficient conceptual or argumentative clarity and/or insufficient recounting of methodology.
    • Grossly insufficient data to validate the analysis to support the claim.
    • HCI contribution is much too small given the length of the submitted paper: a standard length paper making a very small contribution may be desk rejected, as paper length should be commensurate with the size of the contribution.
Final Publication Format
  • As required by the TAPS workflow, camera-ready manuscripts of all papers that have been accepted must be submitted in the formats listed below for final publication in the ACM Digital Library.
  • For LaTeX authors, your source files will be used to auto-generate (1) a double-column PDF (example PDF ), and (2) an accessible and responsive webpage (example HTML ) that will be placed in the Digital Library.
  • For Word authors, you will need to submit your paper in single-column format to correctly auto-generate (1) a double-column PDF (example PDF ), and (2) an accessible and responsive webpage (example HTML ) in the Digital Library.
Presentation Format
  • Talk at the conference delivered by one or more authors of the paper
Video Preview
  • Video previews are mandatory.
  • Recommended resolution: 1080p (1920 x 1080) or 4k (3840 x 2160 px), encoded as MP4 using the H.264 codec
  • Length: 30 seconds
  • Size: < 150 MB
  • Subtitles are required using a separate .srt or .sbv file
  • Please see the video guide for more information on producing a video preview.
  • We strongly recommend that authors make their videos accessible through following the guidelines under Making Video Figures Accessible .
Demo Fast Track
  • Authors of accepted papers will be invited to participate in the UIST demo session. Details about this special/fast track of demos will be found on the demo page.
  • Please note that a DOI will not be provided for invited demo papers. Authors interested in having a DOI for their demo paper should consider submitting to the regular demo track.

Doctoral Symposium Panelists


Workshops

Workshops provide an interactive forum in which organizers can discuss a designated area of interest with fellow conference attendees during special workshop sessions. Workshops should reflect the nature of UIST: engaging, interactive, and cutting-edge. Consider activities such as discussions, demonstrations, brainstormings, and prototyping. Workshop activities should target the active participation of approximately 25-50 participants. Workshop participants will not be required to register for the main conference; there will be a fee to attend workshops.

Given space and activity limitations, participants will need to apply by, e.g., answering a few open-ended questions with short answers, to participate; workshop organizers cannot require a position paper or similar longer submission. Similarly, there should be no expectation that workshop participants will submit their own previously published works to attend a workshop.

Workshop descriptions should include a clear scope, a proposed format, a preliminary agenda, the intended audience, and how you will facilitate audience interaction with organizers and each other. We encourage not just typical UIST topics of interest but also intersections between UIST and other communities within and beyond HCI. These workshop descriptions are non-archival but can be included in the ACM DL adjunct proceedings in the same way posters’ extended abstracts are, if the organizers wish. Submissions will be selected by the organizers based on topic fit, quality of anticipated interaction, and anticipated interest.

For questions, please email the workshop chairs at workshops2026@uist.org.

Visions

Back for its eighth year, UIST Visions is a venue for forward-thinking ideas to inspire the community and to project the UIST community as thought leaders in technical HCI.

The goal is thus to propose new research directions rather than to report on existing research. Proposals will be reviewed based on novelty and relevance, and how provocative the ideas are.

The author should aim to start a meaningful and well-informed discussion about future directions for computer-human interfaces and interaction techniques. Appropriate topics might be:
