<p class="MsoPlainText">Dear list members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">some of the concerns that have been raised in this discussion, such as
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">reviewer load and "incrementality" in papers, could be addressed if the
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">field moved to journal, rather than conference, publishing, and used
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">conferences for dissemination of ideas (where only abstracts would be
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">reviewed) and journals for actual publication. This would have the
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">positive side-effect of making the citation indices of computational
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">linguistics as a subfield go up, thus making it more visible in the
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">"scientific market". For a 1.5-page long elaboration of these ideas, see
<o:p></o:p></p>
