Structure

Each issue contains a cover story, regarded as the keynote article. Forums are published three times a year by specific Forum Editors, contributing a perspective such as sustainability or public policy. Blogspots are opinionated personal pieces, The Demo Hour segments represent a glimpse at a specific project, and Day in the Lab articles feature labs across the globe. Finally, the majority of each issue is contained in (typically) 5-6 feature articles, describing issues of general importance to the HCI community.
