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. That’s the same price as for the OOPSLA/SPLASH Domain-Specific Modeling Workshops, where IIRC authors sign away their copyright to ACM (but we link preprints from the workshop web page). 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@inria.fr> 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_1... (I will upload them to http://www.esug.org/data/ESUG2015/ later today) Marcus . _______________________________________________ Esug-list mailing list Esug-list@lists.esug.org http://lists.esug.org/mailman/listinfo/esug-list_lists.esug.org
