uist-writing-style

Use when drafting or revising a UIST paper — structuring the systems-paper arc (walkthrough before mechanism), writing an implementation section with real technical depth, pairing every capability claim with a figure or measurement, and fitting the argument inside the 10-page or 5-page two-column limit.

# UIST Writing Style

A UIST paper is a guided tour of a working thing. The reader should experience the
system before dissecting it, believe the engineering because it is specified, and
finish knowing exactly which piece they could reuse. This is a different rhetoric
from an empirical HCI paper (argument from study design) and from an ML paper
(argument from benchmark deltas). Format facts below are the 2026 cycle's
(two-column `acmart`, 10-page standard / 5-page short, references and appendices
excluded); verify against the current Author Guide.
