ACM Digital Library

You are here, about the agreement.

EIFL has negotiated free access to the ACM Digital Library (DL), including ACM’s entire publication portfolio of approximately 70 journals, seven magazines, 200 annual conference proceedings, newsletters, websites, and multimedia files. Also included is the integrated Guide to Computing Literature, a comprehensive abstract & citation database tracking bibliometrics for more than three million publication records. Access to the historical archive of all ACM Publications dating back to each publication’s first issue or volume is included. The agreement does not include ACM books.

SUBJECT COVERAGE

Computing, Information Technology, Software Engineering, Database Systems, Data Analytics, Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Computer Networks, Information Systems, Internet, Mobile and Multimedia Technologies

KEY FEATURES

• The ACM Digital Library has been completely redesigned as of 2020 and now is totally mobile responsive, includes additional searchable objects such as authors and institutions, and offers additional personalization features such as content alerts, saved searches and content binders for organization and annotation of research.
• An important aspect for authors preparing a paper for publication by ACM Press is to provide the proper indexing and retrieval information from the ACM Computing Classification System (CCS). This is beneficial because accurate categorization provides the reader with quick content reference, facilitating the search for related literature, as well as searches in ACM's Digital Library and on other online resources.

For Authors

Example papers.

Based on the new CHI Publication Formats this page provides example papers using the TAPS compatible Word and LaTeX templates.

For each example, you can see the PDF versions generated from the Word Submission Format (version 5.0), the LaTeX template using the Manuscript command and sigconf style (version 1.7), the TAPS generated two column PDF, and the TAPS generated responsive HTML.

Ensure you use the latest version of the templates available from the ACM .  Word authors should use the single column Word Submission Format.  LaTeX authors should use the “sigconf” style with the manuscript command to produce a single column document.  LaTeX authors can download the template as a ZIP file or use the official Overleaf template.  The ACM LaTeX template on the Overleaf platform is available to all ACM authors at https://www.overleaf.com/gallery/tagged/acm-official#.WOuOk2e1taQ .

Note :  The samples generated below for Word source use installed fonts called Linux Libertine and Biolinum and Inconsolata .  You are not required to install these fonts to use the Word Submission Format, but your documents will be rendered using default system fonts if you do not and may appear slightly different than the examples below.

Research Papers

Paper submissions.

The ACM International Conference on Interactive Media Experiences (IMX, formerly TVX) focuses on challenges and innovations across diverse forms of media engagement and experiences. The aim is to provoke and promote discussion and the sharing of exciting ideas amongst researchers, industry practitioners and the academic community in all forms of media: VR, AR, MR, XR, 360°, live-streaming, online media content, authoring and production, as well as TV. We encourage authors to submit their novel research findings in analyzing, developing, creating, installing, evaluating, critiquing or distributing interactive media experiences. Possible topics of interest include: 

• Understanding audience interests and their related interaction with content
• Developing new content forms and formats and media/video‑centric experiences
• Analysing and developing underlying technologies and systems
• critiquing and creating production tools and workflows 
• Exploring the use and implications of AI and machine learning (e.g. in social media, media analytics, etc…)
• Developing innovative business models and marketing techniques
• Understanding wider social and cultural contexts
• Designing and showcasing experimental media art experiences

This topic focuses on advances in audience engagement with media content as a rapidly evolving activity across diverse platforms, devices, and timeframes. It welcomes contributions that seek to understand audiences using a rich variety of analytic approaches including sensing audiences, sentiment analysis, and measuring and monitoring quality of experience. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, consumption trends and behaviors in young audiences, sharing practices and communication strategies, identifying engagement patterns across diverse genres, platforms and demographics, scheduled versus on-demand content consumption, binge viewing, and multi-platform engagement.

This topic is suitable for papers where the primary contribution is the introduction of novel ways of experiencing interactive media content. This includes new forms of media content (e.g. VR, AR, MR, XR, 360°, live-streaming etc.) consumed in diverse ways including across multiple screens, platforms, and in immersive theatres. Application areas include entertainment and information including interactive and generative documentaries, transmedia storytelling, volumetric filmmaking, live performance broadcasts and object-based media productions. Papers in other application areas, such as education, healthcare, wellbeing and governance and decision-making, are also welcome.

This topic focuses on technologies, systems, and interfaces that improve and advance our interactions with media content online, at home, or on the move. It encourages submissions describing technical advancements in streaming systems, content synchronisation for multi-platform delivery, and recommendation and companion apps. Additional areas for consideration include games engines for content delivery, location-based and context-aware applications and services and object-based media.

This topic solicits papers describing procedural advances in the preparation, design, and development of media experiences. Areas of interest include new production processes for TV, online video, VR, AR, XR, and 360° formats. Novel tools and workflows using motion capture, volumetric capture and animation are encouraged, as are the presentations of innovative authoring and data-driven tools for interactive or multi-platform content development. In addition to papers describing technical innovations, this topic area is also interested in innovations originating from design and humanities perspectives detailing the authoring process for writing interactive content and the human-centered design methods used to realize these narratives. 

This topic focuses on the use of machine learning and/or artificial intelligence techniques to capture, generate, or understand social media experiences and includes areas such as verification and verification scamming, information diffusion, monitoring media bias, misinformation and fake news, predictability of real-world events, and crowd-sourcing and collective intelligence in rich media systems.

This topic focuses on the new business, marketing, purchasing, subscription, and monetising strategies encountered in the new media landscape of TV and online video. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, targeted advertisements, freemium products, programmatic media buying, in-programme recommendations and purchases, exploiting consumption data, monetising second screen experiences, and social media influencer strategies.  

The impact of the new interactive media and TV landscape on culture and society is powerful and raises many important and challenging topics for consideration. This area welcomes papers from a wide variety of theoretical and analytical perspectives examining structured reality TV, social media manipulation and targeting, media convergence and platform monopolies, intellectual property, remix culture, fan culture, media activism and participation politics, or tactical media practices. In addition, research concerning media violence, social media addiction, or issues of bias and ethics would also be appropriate for this topic.

This topic focuses on disruptive media practises that seek to challenge traditional media consumption patterns and expand spectator experiences. Authors are invited to describe the design, development of (and response to) constructed video-centric work, or speculate about future-oriented media provocations. 

All submissions should follow the ACM guidelines. There  is a single submission paper format (in previous years there were both long and short papers in the main paper track). We invite the submission of anonymized papers from 5 pages to 10 pages with a 150 word abstract using the current ACM template (for LaTeX or Word). References do not count in the page count but all other content (figures, tables, headers, etc.) are included in the total page count. Authors must also specify the key area of the submission (out of the areas indicated in the conference topics) and keywords. 

The committee will take into account the selected length of papers when evaluating the validity and strength of the contribution (read: shorter submissions are welcome).

REVIEW PROCESS

Double-blind Review

P lease prepare your paper in a way that preserves the anonymity of the authors as otherwise the paper will be immediately rejected. This includes removing (rather than obscuring) authors’ names below the title, avoiding phrases such as ‘our previous work’ when referring to earlier publications, removing acknowledgment information (e.g., co-workers and grant IDs), or providing links to websites or media platforms that may identify the authors.

Originality

Material submitted to the ACM International Conference on Interactive Media Experiences must be original. By submitting a manuscript to the conference, the authors guarantee it has not been previously published, or accepted for publication in substantially similar form. No paper containing significant overlap can be submitted to other conferences or journals during the review period. Please view the basic ACM policies ; these are subjective measures left to the interpretation and judgment of the reviewers and committee members.

SELECTION PROCESS

Papers are expected to significantly contribute to the field of interactive media experiences. The contribution has to be original, novel, and identify how it advances the state-of-the-art (citing the most appropriate references). The paper should be concise, coherently structured, well-written and straightforward to understand. In addition, the paper must detail the methodology used for answering the research questions, justify its appropriateness, and ensure the validity of the presented results and findings.

Content will be rigorously reviewed by members of the program committee and peer experts. Each paper will receive feedback in the form of at least three peer review reports.

The final selection will be made by the Technical Program Committee based on the review reports, rebuttal, and meta-review. The program committee reserves the right to ask authors for specific changes as a precondition to publication.

AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the  ACM Digital Library . This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the actual conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.

AT THE CONFERENCE

Authors of accepted papers must give an oral presentation of their work at the conference. At least one author must register to attend the conference to give this presentation.

Authors of accepted contributions will receive the indications of how to present their work at the virtual conference. At least one author must register to the virtual conference to give this presentation.

AFTER THE CONFERENCE

Accepted paper submissions will be published in the main conference proceedings, indexed by the ACM Digital Library.

ACM Journals Primary Article Template

ACM has transitioned to a new authoring template. This new TeX template (acmart v2.07) consolidates the previous eight individual ACM journal and proceedings templates. The templates are updated to the latest software versions, developed to enable accessibility features, and they use a new font set.

The new LaTeX package incorporates updated versions of the following ACM templates:

• ACM Journals: ACM Small, ACM Large, ACM and TOG (also for SIGGRAPH authors publishing in TOG)
• ACM proceedings templates: ACM Standard and SIGPLAN

All journals use acmsmall with the following exceptions:

• acmlarge - Large single column format, used for IMWUT, JOCCH, PACMPL, POMACS, TAP, PACMHCI
• acmtog - Large double column format, used for TOG

Note: Most proceedings authors will use the "sigconf" proceedings template. If you are unsure which template variant to use, please request clarification from your event or publication contact.

Important information regarding submission versions for review: After finalizing the formatting of your paper you must use the option “ manuscript ” with \documentclass[manuscript]{acmart} command. This will generate the output in single column review format which is required. Accepted manuscripts will be transformed during production to produce properly formatted output accord to the publication specifications. Authors will be provided the opportunity to review and approve the formatted output before the article is published to the ACM Digital Library.

Before using the 2017 ACM consolidated article template, we strongly suggest that you read the TeX User Guide . Authors who plan to use their own packages should read the longer Implementation Guide . More detailed Instructions for Authors are found at http://www.acm.org/publications/authors/information-for-authors .

It is important to provide the proper indexing information from the ACM Computing Classification System (CCS) . Accurate semantic tagging provides a reader with quick content reference; facilitates the DL search for related literature; enables several DL topic functions such as aggregated SIG and journal coverage areas; and helps ACM promote your work in other online resources.

Once your article is complete, you can use the “Submit to ACM” button at the top of the Overleaf editor bar to quickly download your paper and go straight to the appropriate ACM submission site.

For conference proceedings submissions, please refer to the submission guidelines in the relevant call-for-papers or on the event website.

For support on using these templates, or on LaTeX in general, please contact the Overleaf team -- we're happy to help.
