Dear CSDH-SCHN Members:

As you may know, our 2026 Conference Call for Papers deadline is fast approaching! As we move into the reviewing stage of our conference season, we would like to invite members to participate in the review process and, toward that end, to update your list of special interest topics.

Again this year, we have updated our "pre-defined" list of special interest topics. Our list has been drawn from the most popular keywords of papers submitted to the last two years of our conference. Please take a moment to log in to ConfTool (or create an account) and update your list of "priority topics." They will help us find appropriate reviewers for our submitted papers.

1. Log in to ConfTool (https://www.conftool.net/csdh-schn-2026/)
2. Click "Show User Account Details"
3. Click "Priority Topics" at the bottom of the page.
  -- We have 40 newly revised topics reflecting recent paper and panel keywords
  -- Choose the areas that interest you and click "Save selection" at the bottom of the page
4. To enter additional topics of interest that are not in our list, go to
Overview > Edit User Account Details and add keywords to the "User Comments" section.

If you can update your lists in the next week (by Tues 10 Feb), we'll move forward with the reviewing process as quickly as we can. Thank you! Looking forward to seeing many of you in Montreal in June!
