publishing in computer science education venues

If you’re looking to publish work in computer science education, there are several well-regarded venues and organizations worth exploring. Whether you’re sharing pedagogical innovations, empirical studies, or curriculum design, these platforms provide strong communities and visibility.

One of the best starting points is the SIGCSE publishing guide, which outlines major conferences, journals, and submission advice within the CS education community. It’s especially useful if you’re new to the field or transitioning from another area of computing.

For those connected to the Australasian region, the Australasian Computing Science Week (ACSW) serves as an umbrella event hosting multiple conferences focused on computing research and education. It’s a great hub for interdisciplinary collaboration and networking.

Notable Conferences

• The 1st International and Transnational Computer Science Research and Education Conference (ITCSREC 2026) focuses on global and cross-border perspectives in CS education, making it particularly relevant for comparative studies and international collaborations.

• The 28th Australasian Computing Education Conference (ACE 2026) is a long-running venue dedicated specifically to computing education research, often featuring work on teaching practices, student learning, and curriculum development.

• The 25th International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia

  Tips for Getting Started

• Identify the audience: some venues emphasize research rigor, while others value teaching practice and experience reports.
• Review past proceedings to understand accepted topics and methodologies.
• Pay attention to submission deadlines and formatting requirements early.
• Consider starting with workshops or poster sessions if you’re new to publishing.

Quick Checklist

• Identify appropriate venue
• Review submission guidelines
• Draft manuscript
• Get peer feedback
• Submit before deadline

Publishing in CS education is as much about joining a community as it is about disseminating research. Engaging with these venues can help refine your work, connect with collaborators, and contribute to improving how computing is taught worldwide.
