XRDS is the ACM's magazine for students, established in 1994. It is published quarterly and invites submissions of high quality articles of interest to computer science students. For more information on the types of articles XRDS publishes, see our About page. Potential authors should read our Author Guidelines. If you are ready to submit, please log in to the author submission center to upload your article

The magazine plans to publish articles on the following topics:

Spring 2012 (March, April, May issue): Turing 100

• Article submission deadline: November 23, 2011
• Advertising deadline: January 20, 2012
  

Summer 2012 (June, July, August issue) : Startups

• Article submission deadline: March 1, 2012
• Advertising deadline: April 20, 2012
  

Please note that submitted articles do not necessarily have to fit the theme of the issue. Themed articles are typically written by experts in the field. Student authors typically have a much better opportunity of being published if they write about the student experience, including but not limited to experiences at an internship, advice for other students about their educational careers, and activities going on at their universities or ACM chapters that are unique and of interest to students worldwide.

Additionally, in recent past issues, we have covered the following topics:

• Open Government
• Neuroscience and Computing
• Green Technology
• Banking, Currency and e-Commerce
• Human computation
• Programming
• Interfaces and human-computer interaction
