Use when an ACM CHI paper receives a revise-and-resubmit invitation and the five-week window opens — planning the revision triage, making tracked changes reviewers can audit, and writing the response letter that carries the paper through round 2 and the PC meeting.

# CHI Author Response

CHI does not run a short rebuttal where you argue in a text box. An invited paper gets
roughly **five weeks** to deliver two artifacts: a genuinely revised manuscript with
changes visibly tracked, and a response letter mapping every reviewer concern to what
changed. For CHI 2027 the resubmission deadline is **December 3, 2026** (posted on
chi2027.acm.org, read 2026-07-08). The stakes are real: the posted process warns up to
50% of revised papers may still be rejected; CHI 2026 accepted 65.5% of resubmissions.
