The 2018 ACM conference on computer-supported cooperative work and social computing is coming up in less than a month, and it will feature more paper presentations than any CSCW in the past! The research published and presented at CSCW 2018 is exciting and timely, spanning the social and engineering aspects of information and communication technologies.
This year’s conference features papers from two rounds of submissions: Online First papers, which are already available to read, and a recently completed second round with papers forthcoming (though some have already been featured in write-ups in our Medium publication!). For both of these submission rounds, special awards committees have chosen papers to represent the best of the conference! We are excited to announce the winners of Best Paper awards, as well as Best Paper honorable mentions. These papers represent a spectrum of CSCW topics, from trust in data science to civic data hackathons to helping families with preventative measures for mental health to social media marketing.
All of these papers will be presented during the main conference, November 5–7, in the NYC area. Many of these papers will also continued to be featured with short summaries on our Medium publication, so follow along and we hope to see you at the conference as well. Congratulations to all the authors receiving awards!
