Episode 2 - Interview with Carl Gutwin

In this episode of "How to Write CHI Papers," Dr. Lennart Nacke interviews Carl Gutwin, a computer science professor at the University of Saskatchewan, about writing successful CHI papers. Gutwin shares insights gained from his extensive experience in the CHI community, emphasizing the importance of thorough literature reviews, clear and unambiguous writing, and a well-structured narrative in the introduction and discussion sections. He advises students to focus on conveying the contribution of their work effectively, using the abstract and title as opportunities to sell their paper, and considering the perspective of a tired reviewer. Gutwin also discusses the role of mixed methods in evaluations and the strategic use of figures and tables to reinforce the paper's message.
