Re: [Esug-list] IWST '15 is now in the ACM DL

by Steven Kelly

Thanks Ralph. Even if authors give copyright to ACM, they can still publish on their web page and in preproceedings. I think you'll find that a vanishingly small percentage of people in industry have access to the ACM DL through their companies. I understand that publishing in the DL or similar repositories is useful for discoverability, and I can cope with the fact that those companies need to make money and so use paywalls. But please, all authors, if the publisher allows it and you want your research to be taken up by people in the real world, take the trouble to put a PDF on your web page.

Instead, they were given the right to publish them, but authors keep the copyright on the papers. Thus, the authors are able to publish them in other venues, such as their own website. The ACM Digital Library is really designed for ACM members. You don't have to pay for individual articles if you are a member, you get to see all of them. Most CS professors are members.

The DL doesn't work so well for people in smaller companies, since neither they nor their employer are members of the ACM. So, when a conference wants to appeal to people in smaller companies, it is important to make sure that when you negotiate the contract with the ACM, you make sure that the copyright remains with the author, not with ACM.

What happened to the IWST'14 proceedings? I can't find them in the DL. (Yes, I know where they are on the ESUG site; but, you know, there are certain benefits to having the ACM search index them).

Luckily, Smalltalk remains a more productive environment.

Marcus, yes, exactly this point: the public (we) pays for research and review (and the ESUG participants financed the presentation - this is good, don’t get me wrong) and then it is sealed by a private company which does WHAT? I know that we agree that public funded research must be open to the public. (period!) This is why I like the pirates - that is one of their core issues.

Ralph, Could you clarify that? I just went to the ACM DL for PLoP, and all the PLoP, EuroPloP and SugarloafPloP papers I tried were behind a paywall, $15 each.

All the best, Steve From: Esug-list [mailto:esug-list-bounces@lists.esug.org] On Behalf Of Ralph Johnson Sent: Thursday, November 26, 2015 5:08 PM To: Marcus Denker Cc: ESUG Mailing list Subject: Re: [Esug-list] IWST '15 is now in the ACM DL In fact, ACM is easier to deal with than you might think. If you are just putting a proceedings into the DL, and not making a print version of it, you can ask them to allow copyright to stay with the authors. We did this for the PLoP series of conferences. -Ralph Johnson On Thu, Nov 26, 2015 at 6:46 AM, Marcus Denker <marcus.denker(a)inria.fr> wrote: > On 26 Nov 2015, at 09:14, Alexandre Bergel <abergel(a)dcc.uchile.cl> wrote: > > Hi Christian, > > I understand your frustration. However this is how it work as soon as one wish to publish to a wide audience. Unfortunately, there is not much we can do in that respect. > This is the current “System” of research… of course the Authors nor the universities that payed a salary for doing the research will get any money… just the leeches that did *nothing*. It is a truly shitty system and worthy to be fought against, but this is hard if you ever want to get a job or graduate. But there are activities against it… progress is slow… but e.g. ECOOP left all this and the publications are now online for free. So what people do to make it less of a problem is that they publish a “preprint” that is free to download. Preprints are on the websites of the authors (of they care) or in the central archive of the institution (if it cares). Inria (where I work) got so far that as of 2 years ago, publication that are not available for free on https://hal.inria.fr do not counted for any Inria internal metric. As far as Inria is concerned, they do not exist. E.g we are not allowed to put it in official reports or claim them when applying for internal promotion. As for IWST: there is a link here: http://www.esug.org/wiki/pier/Conferences/2015/International-Workshop-IWST_… (I will upload them to http://www.esug.org/data/ESUG2015/ later today) Marcus . _______________________________________________ Esug-list mailing list Esug-list(a)lists.esug.org http://lists.esug.org/mailman/listinfo/esug-list_lists.esug.org
