CHI 2025 Paper Stats <decorative CHI 2025 logo in pink japanese style>

Below are some potentially interesting statistics I have generated from the JSON file from the CHI 2025 program. I consider only 'full papers' here. There were a total of 1,249 accepted full papers, from a total of 5,014 submitted (24.9% accept rate). Presenting statistics like this is an idea I borrowed (stole) from whatthehci.com, which seems to no longer be updated. You can also check out some cool statistics for the conference on the official blog.

#chi2025 statistics, summarising countries, institutions, labs and people at #chi2025. Also, there are some 'reading lists' based on (my) interests. Imperfect, but hopefully useful or interesting to someone: tdjneate.github.io/chi_stats/20...
