cscw-writing-style
Use when drafting or revising CSCW prose — group-level framing, concepts a field can reuse, participant voice handled with care, theory that earns its keep, and length discipline under the 5,000-12,000-word scrutiny band where contribution is weighed against every page.

# CSCW Writing Style
A CSCW paper is judged by readers from several intellectual traditions at once —
ethnographers, statisticians, system builders, social theorists — inside a journal
process where the same reviewers may read the paper twice. The prose must therefore
do two unusual things: make each tradition's part legible to the others, and hold up
under a *second*, more skeptical read during Revise and Resubmit.
## Length: no cap, but a scale
CSCW imposes no formal page limit. The 2026-cycle CFP instead put weight on a band:
papers under roughly **5,000 words** or over roughly **12,000 words** attract extra
scrutiny, and a paper whose length is incommensurate with its contribution can be
desk rejected. Treat length as a claim you are making: every additional section
