Supplemental interactive graphs and data tables for The Rise and Fall of the Note: Changing Paper Lengths in ACM CSCW, 2000-2018

Now with bonus 2019 data!

By R. Stuart Geiger, UC-Berkeley Institute for Data Science

This is a supplement to a paper to appear in Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction (PACMHCI) as part of the ACM's 2019 conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW)

You can see more data, code, and documentation on this paper's GitHub repo, but this page is for graphs and figures that require fancy javascript magic to render, hence the separate site.
