[Corpora-List] why LREC2012 NOT blind-reviewed?

[Anil Singh]

Following up the on the previous mails, I will take the liberty of making a
constructive suggestion that is not really 'brilliant' nor very original as
I believe some scientific journals already follow something similar to it:

I am not really against sharing of information about papers among conference
organizers and reviewers. In fact, it could even be made a public resource
in the ideal case, as Inderjeet Mani suggested.

But this sharing should be transparent and fair.

The suggestion is better divided into parts (the first part is not rare even
now, but it is treated more like a formality):

a) The authors have the right to respond to the reveiws and reviewers are
required to take them into account, not just ignore them as a formality (as
I have seen happening). There should be at least two round of this.

b) If a paper is rejected from one venue and is sent to another, what gets
sent has three parts: (i) The paper itself (ii) The
reviews/recommendations/scores, and (iii) The author(s)' responses to the
review and any additional explanations/clarifications they might want to
add.

c) The process in b) is repeated every time the same paper is sent to yet
another venue.

d) Optionally (and ideally), all this information (reveiws/replies) is made
available on the venue webpage. (Why should it be confidential?)

This might not have been feasible in the hard copy days, but these days it
should be easy to implement. Some extra work will be required, yes, but the
'payoff' will be much more. And if we implement d), we will have a great
online scientific resource.
