[Corpora-List] corpora-list: publishing lists of accepted and rejected papers

[Anne Schumann]

Hi Leon.

<<At this stage in an academic career, both of these are generally outweighed by the huge amounts of friendly and helpful guidance provided by reviewers of student papers, and even from non-student venues.

I certainly agree with that. My experience with reviewers is naturally limited, but, by now, it has been less negative than could be predicted by looking at the reviewing discussions on this list. However, I still think the topic is very important and the discussion very useful. (And I interpret the participation of so many experienced researchers as a clear sign that either the negative experience gets stronger with time passing or that being a reviewer yourself gets you into conflicts that students simply don't know about. Or both^^.) 

This remark probably comes late, but once you go back to the reviewing topic, let me briefly state my thoughts: As for LREC, I don't understand what are the benefits in disclosing one party (the author, which for me is ok), but keeping it a secret who are the reviewers. Somewhat asymmetrical. Asymmetry is normal in an assessment situation, but in this case it would seem fairer to me, if the authors also had a right to anonymity. As I stated before, I would approve of some demystification in the whole publication business, but I do think this effort should involve all parties. 

The next question is, of course, who would actually study all the acceptance/rejection lists.

So long.
Anne
