chi-writing-style
Use when drafting or revising the prose of an ACM CHI paper — contribution statements, structure for mixed reviewer audiences, participant voice, calibrated claims, accessible and bias-free writing, and length discipline in a venue that reviews words against contribution instead of pages.

# CHI Writing Style
A CHI paper is read by a jury that rarely shares one methodological culture: a
quantitative experimenter, a design researcher, and an ethnographer may all review
the same submission. The prose must therefore do explicit work that a single-culture
venue lets authors skip — naming the contribution type, justifying the method choice
to outsiders, and calibrating claims to human evidence. And because CHI reviews
length against contribution ("papers should be commensurate with their contribution";
5,000–8,000 words encouraged, per the CHI 2027 Papers page, read 2026-07-08), every
paragraph is auditable: does this paragraph earn its words?
## The contribution statement is load-bearing
CHI convention puts an explicit contribution list at the end of the introduction.
