Sources such as IEEE present a unforgivable barrier to dissemination, in my opinion. I have never submitted to an IEEE (or any other paid access) publisher.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-916089221241646444.post-56476119079658898212011-11-29T17:24:12.716+01:002011-11-29T17:24:12.716+01:00I think the whole modus operandi in the CS communi...I think the whole modus operandi in the CS community can be questioned.<br /><br />Why is it that most CS researchers only try to meet conference deadlines? Why not write well researched papers which if ready for a conference deadline are submitted there else find a journal forum. This hurry to meet deadlines means that most ideas are only half-baked.<br /><br />CS students are usually poorly trained in analytical tools: see how many CS depts offer even a basic grad course in probabilistic techniques that does not try to teach the students a bag of tricks. I am often surprised by the arrogance of CS researchers whose training is superficial. Research is not about being "clever" that's only a small part. Most of research is the depth and the systematic extending of the boundaries of knowledge. Many well known CS researchers usually have a non CS background where they acquired real knowledge skills.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
