Call for Papers: FSE 2014 Workshop on Academic Publishing 2.0
17th November 2014
Hong Kong
http://promisedata.org/pub/2014/
Important Dates :
Submission: July 14, 2014
Notification: Aug 1, 2014
Camera ready: Aug 11, 2014
Goal:
To hold a meeting of academics at FSE'14 to design "The Journal of Software=
Engineering", a next generation refereed open science forum, to be launche=
d in 2015.
Call for Papers:
We ask for two page position papers that address this question: how do we w=
ant to distribute our ideas?
As academics, this is an important question. We spent much of our time writ=
ing, reviewing, editing articles. Yet we have very little say in the nature=
of the publishing machinery that presents all that work to the world. Our =
premise is simple:
If we generate the content, should we not also control how that content=
is assessed and disseminated?
This workshop is timely as many program chairs and editors are rethinking h=
ow to make journals more relevant and important, but there is no official v=
enue for doing so. This workshop will be that venue for software engineerin=
g re- searchers.
Rather than use an existing publication forum (that we may have issues with=
) we wish to design a new kind of publication tool that takes full advantag=
e of Internet-age methods. So the goal of this workshop is to determine (1)=
what practices best match our needs and (2) what methods take most advanta=
ge of 21st century publication technologies (e.g. on-line review systems, f=
ast blogging methods, social media, etc).
We want to learn from the past and to design new publication tools based bo=
th on existing practices, but also explore new ideas that have not been pre=
viously implemented. To this end, it is also important to look outside the =
field of software engineering (SE) to develop this proposal. Many other fie=
lds have developed highly successful formats that are very different to tho=
se in current use in SE. For example, there are newer styles of journals th=
at are employing "fast paths" methods with great success. For example:
Bioinformatics publishes hundreds of papers a year with 1 month review =
cycles. And they have a five year impact factor of 6.3 (much higher than TS=
E or TOSEM)
Physics Letters boast that "Rapid publication times gives Physics Lette=
rs the edge over other journals in the field."
Format:
The workshop will be one-day long, in three sessions.
The morning session will comprise participants presenting their 2-page posi=
tion papers, arguing for some small number of best practices that the autho=
rs feel is important to make journals more effective. Participants will be =
given a short amount of time to explain their position with significantly m=
ore time allotted towards discussing these ideas.
The early afternoon session will be devoted to break out groups trying to a=
ssess different proposals for this new journal. From the morning sessions, =
we will cluster like-minded researchers and ask them to prepare flip charts=
describing their ideal publication forum.
A final session, later in the afternoon, will seek to document common threa=
ds relating to (a) what must be done; (b) what could be done; and (c) what =
should not be done.
Submissions:
Submit two page pdf documents via our Easychair site using the ACM SIG proc=
eedings.
Papers will be selected based on strength of evidence (empirical, argumenta=
tive, or otherwise) and novelty.
Please see detailed instructions at:
