ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM)
Conference positioning
ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM) is a top computer-science conference venue for information retrieval, knowledge management, databases, data mining, and knowledge graphs. It rewards a paper at the IR/data/knowledge boundary with practical evaluation and clear management of information artifacts. Treat this skill as a fit / venue-selection / re-framing tool for conference submission strategy, not as a substitute for the current year's CFP, author kit, ethics policy, or submission portal.
Because CS conferences change deadlines, templates, page limits, review workflow, artifact rules, AI-use policy, and rebuttal formats every cycle, always verify the live official instructions before making a submission-ready recommendation. Start from the official source anchor recorded for this venue in ../../resources/conference-roster.md and ../../resources/official-source-map.md.
When to trigger
The author names CIKM / ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management as the target venue.
A manuscript in information retrieval needs a conference-fit read before being formatted or submitted.
The paper must be re-framed from journal style or arXiv style into a selective CS conference narrative.
The author needs an evidence-gap, anonymity, artifact, rebuttal, or re-routing diagnosis for this venue.
Scope & topic fit
Core fit: information retrieval, knowledge management, databases, data mining, and knowledge graphs.
Best submissions make a precise contribution type visible: algorithm, theorem, system, dataset, benchmark, empirical finding, design artifact, tool, or socio-technical analysis.
The paper should explain why the result matters to CIKM's reviewers, not just why it is interesting to the authors' lab or product context.
Position related work against the most recent conference-cycle papers in this venue and its closest siblings; stale comparisons are a common early-review weakness.
If the contribution is interdisciplinary, state which part is CS research and which part is domain evidence.
Venue-specific calibration
Reviewer lens: Treat CIKM as a information and knowledge management venue whose reviewers expect the scope and evidence to match its own community. Do not submit a generic CS paper until the introduction names the exact subcommunity, contribution type, and proof or empirical standard.
Contribution hook to foreground: the venue-specific contribution bar.
Scope vocabulary to use naturally in the abstract and introduction: information retrieval, knowledge management, databases, data mining, and knowledge graphs.
Official anchor domain: www.cikmconference.org. Quote annual rules only after opening that source and the current-year CFP/author kit.
Close-neighbor routing guardrail
Route to CIKM when the paper combines information retrieval, knowledge management, databases,
data mining, or applied information systems for a broad information/knowledge audience.
Do not send every IR, database, or KR paper to CIKM. Compare SIGIR/ECIR for retrieval,
SIGMOD/VLDB/ICDE for database systems, and KR/K-CAP/ISWC for knowledge representation.
What distinguishes this venue from its closest siblings
Use when targeting ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval (ICMR) or deciding whether a computer-science manuscript fits this venue. Encodes conference fit, framing, evidence bar, submission-cycle checks, rebuttal posture, and desk-reject risks for multimedia retrieval.
