Thanks very much Chaoqun for your excellent first draft!
Cassidy wrote “My primary question is whether the person can also submit to the ASIS&T conference.” To me it depends on whether the person is submitting to the workshop or paper contest.
I agree that a paper accepted for the conference should not be submitted for the workshop. To me the matter seems less clear about the extent to which a workshop presentation could be on the same topic as an accepted poster. As regards the paper contest, I agree with Dietmar that allowing people to submit anything that has not yet been published.
Dietmar added that the paper should not have been submitted concurrently to the main meeting. Stasa wrote “I can see that some students might want to present at the main meeting. One way to go about that is to make an agreement with the poster session organizer of the main conference that the awarded papers get an automatic admission to the main conference poster session.” However this deprives an excellent paper of the opportunity to be in the main conference. Another way around this is to arrange an early paper contest. If we can evaluate the submitted papers by say May 10 then anyone who has submitted to the paper contest can make revisions and submit to the main conference before the May 31 deadline. This way the paper contest can be a type of mentoring in that people keen to submit to the main conference would get reviewer feedback in time to submit a poster or paper to the main conference.
Best regards,
Jonathan.

Dear all,
I agree with Dietmar that the requirement for the consideration should be that " the research not be published by the time of presentation, and that the paper has not been submitted concurrently to the main meeting". However, I can see that some students might want to present at the main meeting. One way to go about that is to make an agreement with the poster session organizer of the main conference that the awarded papers get an automatic admission to the main conference poster session. After all, these papers will be reviewed by the panel of experts.
Best,
Stasa

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?
