The CSC Papers program recognizes the writings of people who have formalized their research, experiences or opinions and makes the collected knowledge available throughout CSC and often externally. The papers appeal to a broad range of audiences, from specific technical and professional audiences to management audiences, and even the general public.

Any written material – published or unpublished – that highlights innovative thinking is eligible for CSC Papers. Entries for the annual competition consist of many formats, including case studies, research findings, letters, articles, analyses, general product reviews, forecasts and theories. CSC Papers encourages entries in a wide range of topics that span CSC's major business domains.
