Abstract
A brief overview on particle injection and acceleration in corotating interaction regions is presented. After introducing the diffusion-convection transport equation for energetic particles we discuss diffusive acceleration at the corotating shocks, stochastic acceleration within the interaction region, and the injection and acceleration of pickup ions at the corotating shocks.
