ABSTRACT
Writing research papers can be extremely challenging for new academic authors or entire scientific communities, with their own review and style guidelines like CHI. The impact of everything that we do as researchers is based on how we communicate it. Writing for CHI is a core skill to learn because it is hard to turn a research project into a successful CHI publication. This online edition of the successful CHI paper writing course offers hands-on advice and more in-depth tutorials on how to write papers with clarity, substance, and style. It is structured into four online units with a focus on writing CHI papers.
