Hi everyone,

I'm working on three journal articles and am uncertain about where to submit
them. I've reviewed the list at
http://www.hcibib.org/hci-sites/JOURNALS.html, which is quite comprehensive
but doesn't really give me a feel for the intangibles: the journal's
reputation, how difficult it is to get published in it, etc. I'd very much
appreciate any opinions, suggestions, or advice on where to submit. I've
listed the article below with a brief description of each.

Thanks! Howard

ARTICLES --------------

1) UNDERSEA WINDOW CASE STUDY. Describes how a user-centered design process
was applied to the development of a high-definition video camera that will
be deployed on the floor of the Pacific Ocean and controlled remotely by
scientists across Canada. The UI provides visual context that maintains a
spatial overview while users zoom in on image details and functions
effectively even in conditions of significant network delay. We submitted
this to CHI work-in-progress but it was not accepted, mostly because
reviewers didn't buy that it was a work in progress (the design looked
pretty complete).

2) HOW MAY I HELP YOU? HCI AND CALL-CENTER CULTURE. This ethnography
explores the human-computer interaction between call-center agents and
agent-facing software. Twenty semi-structured interviews were completed
along with site observations at two call centers. Productivity and agent job
satisfaction were associated with usable software designed with user input.

3) COMMAND LANGUAGE DESIGN: Heuristics for a Command Line Interface that
Every Geek Will Love. Presents 16 research-based heuristics that can be
applied to the design of a user-friendly command line interface (which Don
Norman recently described as "the next UI breakthrough," see
http://www.jnd.org/dn.mss/ui_breakthroughcomma.html). Each heuristic is
supported by research and described in the context of a design process used
to develop a command language for Ericsson Research.
