Awards

Lasting Impact

CSCW 2023 awards a Lasting Impact Researcher Recognition to Nicole Ellison and Cliff Lampe for the influence that their early work on social media has had on the field of CSCW. This body of work will be the subject of a panel discussion at the conference.

Paper Awards and Recognitions

Awards and recognitions for CSCW are based on nominations by ACs and reviewers during the paper review processes, and chosen by a separate Awards Committee later. The awards evaluation process is blinded, and the committee members score papers based on both their own evaluation and the evaluations of the original reviewers, including reasons given for nominations.

Best Paper Awards represent 1% of all submitted papers, and Honorable Mentions represent another 3%. Recognitions for Contribution to Diversity and Inclusion represent strong examples of work that focuses on or serves minorities, otherwise excluded individuals or populations, or intervenes in systemic structures of inequality, and selection of these recognitions were overseen by Equity and Accessibility Co-Chairs. Methods Recognitions are for strong examples of work that includes well developed, explained, or implemented methods, and/or methodological innovation, and Impact Recognitions are for strong examples of work that demonstrates or has clear potential to demonstrate real-world or practical impact.
