[Sigmet-officers] first draft of student paper contest

Thu Jan 27 09:47:38 EST 2011

Well done, Chaoqun! 

A few thoughts: 

- We're requesting the submission of papers possibly before we have heard back about the acceptance of the workshop proposal. If the current deadline for pre-con submissions is followed, we won't know before late June if it's accepted. 

- Can the SIG afford to provide prizes for up to five winners? Would we also pay for the winners' pre-con registration (likely to be around $100-$150) in addition to a monetary prize, ASIS&T membership, conference registration and accommodations? 

- I share the concern about double-dipping, where papers are also submitted to the main meeting. On the other hand, we're not promising a publication out of this. The prize is nice to add to one's CV, but it's the publication that will give a student more academic mileage. I don't think we want to be too strict about the publication status other than the research not be published by the time of presentation, and that the paper has not been submitted concurrently to the main meeting. 

Cheers, 

Dietmar

Dear All, 

I don't think that it is reasonable to give the same presentation both at the workshop and one or two days later at the main conference. I think that we also want original works, not something that has already been published. Submitted elsewhere (journal or conference - but not ASIST) might be OK. I don't know about works that have already been presented at another conference without proceedings. These are my thoughts on this issue. 

Regards, 
Judit

Thanks, Chaoqun!  I made a few comments, but I think it looks great. 

My primary question is whether the person can also submit to the ASIS&T 
conference--we do not address whether the paper can be submitted to another 
venue or in press.  Thoughts from other officers?
