Abstract. This document is formatted in accordance with the ECSCW 2020 formatting guidelines for exploratory papers, notes, doctoral consortium, and posters by means of a Microsoft Word style sheet. You may want to use the file as a template. 
Document layout
The text bloc (the printed area) should measure and must not exceed 140 x 227 mm; it must have a one-column format and be positioned at the center of the page. In A4 format, this corresponds to 35 mm margins on all sides. If you use other formats, e.g., US Letter, please make sure the text bloc measures 140 x 227 mm (i.e., make sure line lengths do not exceed 140 mm). 
No ‘live links’ are allowed in the file. That is, all automatic links, codes etc. in the document must be switched off (e.g., copy editing tracks, hyperlinks, cross reference links, citation codes).
Title, author, abstract
The title of the article must be preceded by 50 mm blank space (the blank space on top of the first page will be used for editorial purposes).The title should be set in 24 point Times, flushed left.
The title should be followed by the name of the author(s) in 14 point Times, flushed left. Immediately after the name of the author, the name and country of the affiliation of the author should be given in a separate line (12 point Times, flushed left).
The title, author’s name, and author’s affiliation should be followed by a short abstract of not more than 200 words clearly summarizing the paper. The abstract should be set in 10 point Helvetica (or an equivalent sans serif font) with 13 point line leading (line space). The abstract should have 24 point space before and after.
Body text
Body text should be set in 12 point Times (the font used here) or an equivalent serif font. Line spacing (leading) should be 15 point. The first paragraph after a headline should not be indented; otherwise the first line of a body text paragraph should be indented by 5 mm. Body text should be justified (i.e., do not use a ragged-right style).
Headings should be set in Times and flush left:
•	Level 1: 18 point, 24 point space before, 12 point after.
•	Level 2: 14 point, 18 point space before, 9 point after.
•	Level 3: 12 point, 12 point space before, 6 point after.
Quoted passages of more than 40 words should be set off from the text by indenting the left-hand margin 5 mm. Such quotations should be set in 10 point Times with 13 point line spacing, with 2 mm additional spacing before and after the quotation.
Trademarks and system names should be set in small caps, for example, The Coordinator.
References
The reference format is based on the Springer version of the APA format, but with additional requirements:
•	To avoid mistakes, volume numbers, issue numbers, and page numbers must be indicated by standard labels (‘vol.’, ‘no.’, and ‘pp.’, respectively).
•	Full article or book titles are required, also for proceedings. 
•	To avoid misidentification, authors’ names should include the first (or given) name.
Citations should be incorporated into the text, either directly in the sentence (‘As claimed by Bowers (1990)...’) or at the end, with author’s name and date of publication in parenthesis: (Bowers, 1990).
References should be listed at the end of the article under the References heading, after the Notes, in alphabetical and chronological order. References should be set in 10 point Times, with 5 mm hanging indents.
