[Journal] Section Editors With No Assignments

[Rafal Wawer]

Well, as the Journal does not have IF... a good carrot for the start will be fast publishing - short times between submission and release. I think for PhD students it would be a big advantage.

Another idea - to publish proceedings of thematic workshops. Looking at many of them... they are published as ppts or abstracts. In many cases the funding body is not very satisfied with this kind of output from events they finanse and at least short papers in a regular journal would be desirable. It may require active communication with the organizing commitees. Many of those events held in Europe are listed in OSOR newsletters. What we can do - if someone of us finds an interesting event - announces it on Journal mailing list and we ask Taylor to send a nice invitation to the organizing committee? (-;

Best regards:
Raf

Landon, I'm still interested and wiling to help out as a section editor. Perhaps on Programming Tutorials or Peer Reviewed Articles... I've tried to drive submissions to the peer reviewed section in the past, and think there is still hope for this section to become quite interesting - but it will require drumming up business from the academic community and trying to convince them to publish here. If anyone has thoughts on how to encourage that, please share. Thanks, Dan
