- CHI LettersEvery conference included in CHI Letters is given a volume/issue number for identification. Some conferences include material other than full refereed papers in their proceedings. Such papers are not considered part of CHI Letters and do not include the CHI Letters volume/issue number on such pages. Only fully refereed papers with original and substantial content are acceptable under the CHI Letters label.
Each year that any conference has its proceedings included in CHI Letters, its review process must be approved by SIGCHI's Publications Board.
As shown below, we recommend that CHI Letters papers be categorized as fully-refereed conference papers. They are not journal articles. Though CHI Letters papers have gone through stringent review processes for conferences, these processes are not as stringent as the review processes for most journals. For example, reviewer selection for conference papers is less strict and the review process is limited to a single review cycle (journals articles often undergo three or four review cycles). Additionally, journal articles often are longer and more detailed than conference papers.
Fully Refereed Conference Papers
Conference acronym, ACM {conference / symposium} on conference title, CHI Letters vol(issue), pages.
For C.V.s or other records where demonstration of publication quality is important, it is entirely reasonable to add a note to indicate the CHI Letter distinction.
Note: The CHI Letters designation is given only to full conference papers with original and substantial content. These papers have been accepted to conferences that follow a strict, rigorous, and highly competitive reviewing process.

*Note: The CHI Letters designation is given only to full conference papers with original and substantial content. These papers have been accepted to conferences that follow a strict, rigorous, and highly competitive reviewing process.
