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

[Krishnamurthy, Ramesh]

What about:

a) for conferences (where impactful presentation is the main focus), why not 10-slide Powerpoint shows instead of abstracts?
If required, 2 slides to be nominated by the author, showing (1) research background/proximate research (2) key focus of presentation

b) for journals: extended abstracts...

Dear list members,



some of the concerns that have been raised in this discussion, such as

reviewer load and "incrementality" in papers, could be addressed if the

field moved to journal, rather than conference, publishing, and used

conferences for dissemination of ideas (where only abstracts would be

reviewed) and journals for actual publication. This would have the

positive side-effect of making the citation indices of computational

linguistics as a subfield go up, thus making it more visible in the

"scientific market". For a 1.5-page long elaboration of these ideas, see

Best,

Gemma Boleda
