The article focuses on the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science and its implementation, emphasizing the global movement towards making science a public good. Topics include the building of a global consensus on open science, challenges hindering equity in scholarly processes, and UNESCO's efforts to support countries in implementing open science across various action areas.

The article provides a study of women in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields by studying published conference works and extracting names, using a bibliometric approach by using the program NamSor Applied Onomastics to define the gender of published authors. It focuses particularly on the recent six years of conferences held by Transregional Research Centre 89 Invasive Computing (CRC/Transregio 89).

Currently, text documents from multiple sources have become available in many fields. It is of great interest to study the relationship between documents from different sources and uncover the underlying causality. Zhu et al. (2021) proposed a joint dynamic topic model (JDTM). They classified all topics into three groups and used the "shared topics" with a fixed time lag order to characterize the shared information between two corpora. Although JDTM is a powerful tool for discovering the lead-lag relationship, there are two potential shortcomings. First, different shared topics should have distinct meanings, which should lead to different time lag orders between the two corpora. Second, for dynamic documents, not all topics are represented in each time slice, and thus topic sparsity should be considered. To address these two problems, we propose a sparse joint dynamic topic model (SJDTM) with a flexible lead-lag order. We assume a birth-and-death mechanism for all topics and a flexible lead-lag order for different shared topics. The performance of SJDTM is evaluated using both synthetic data and two real text corpora consisting of conference papers and journal papers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents blog postings on the topics of scientific papers at conferences and the problem of monitoring and paying for productivity from telecommuting computer programmers.

The article presents the author's views regarding the shift in the computer science profession from a focus on journal publications to conference publications. Topics include approaches to improve conference reviewing and management; information on the process of revision for science and engineering publications; and the different requirements for papers accepted for journal publications and conference presentations.

The article discusses relative relevant undercitation (RRU) in computer science databases including Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Digital Library (DL). According to the article, conference papers are not always as represented as journal articles in citations for reasons that include parsing technology and a traditional bias for journals. Three experiments testing computer science databases for inaccuracies are described. Tables present researched information about citations by author and database.

The article reports on research which was conducted to investigate papers which were submitted to conferences of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) between 1996 and 2009 and to evaluate trends and influences on women’s authorship of computing-conference papers. Researchers found that the number of ACM conference papers grew from 1966 to 2009. They also found that while women remain severely underrepresented in computing, there was a substantial increase in their share of papers that they published. They concluded that the increase may be due to the fact that women earned more Ph.D. degrees in computing.

The article discusses the status of research papers published by computer science (CS) conferences, as compared with those published in CS journals. Debate has occurred in relation to the proper way in which to qualify the research presented in a paper. Problems exist in determining the quality of research in various journals due to the wide array of publication opportunities available. A scale that has been created to measure the quality of conference papers in a variety of ways, such as citations and rejection rates, is discussed.

The article offers the author's comments on a proposal by the Publications Board of the Association for Computing Machinery to bring together conference papers and publishing of journal articles on computer science research. According to the author, compared to journal reviewing, conference process has clear advantages that this proposal maintains.

The article offers the author's comments on a proposal by the Publications Board of the Association for Computing Machinery in the U.S. to bring together conference papers and publishing of journal articles on computer science research. According to the author, linking journal publication to annual conference cycles arguably would encourage an annual cycle of submissions from authors.

The article focuses on a proposal by the Association for Computing Machinery's Publications Board Conferences Committee to bring together conference and journal publishing. Different methods offered by the Association to publish conference papers in journals are presented. Many computer scientists have focused on limitations of conference publishing.

The article offers garden society news briefs including call for papers for the conferences of the Australian Garden History Society (AGHS), National Management Committee's funding approval for the Fern Gully Restoration project at Royal Botanic Gardens and death of AGHS member Lady Mary Downer.

The author pleads for civility from both reviewers and writers of scholarly papers in computer science. She maintains that nasty comments and the like can be reduced if writers, editors, reviewers, and all others involved in the publication process simply make it known they will not tolerate rudeness. She approvingly cites guidelines issues by the CHI (computer-human interaction) conference for papers submitted to it. The conference urges reviewers to be polite to authors and constructive with their criticisms.

The article offers information on research firm GreyNet International, Grey Literature Network Service and the periodical including having a license from EBSCO Publishing, providing conference reports on grey literature and publishing developments in grey literature.

The article offers information on the registration to the 16th International Conference on Grey Literature (GL16) to be held at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. on December 8-9, 2014. It highlights the services included in the registration fee such as attendance at the Sessions, full-text of conference papers, and a copy of the GL16 Program Book. Also provided are details about method of payment and the inclusion of a surcharge for payment made after October 1.

The article offers information on the papers being sought by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) for its 2013 Winter Conference that will be held in Dallas, Texas from January 26-30, 2013.

The article offers information on two ways to access articles and conference papers available on Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Xplore digital library for IEEE members.

The article discusses a webinar titled "Automate Innovation Series: Automate Collaboration" on the audio video (AV) technology to be held on March 19, 2013 and also presents a list of various conference papers presented at various webinars on topics including payroll checks and student retention.

The article reports on the debut of the first publication of "The Young Professional," which will be digitally distributed to young professionals and students in the Young Professional Network of the National Recreation & Park Association (NRPA). NRPA calls for education session proposals for its 2013 Congress & Exposition to be held in Houston, Texas from October 8-10. NRPA also seeks for citizen and professional leaders who have passion in recreation, environmental conservation, and parks.

The article announces that the deadline for the submission of abstracts for the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) Annual Conference and Expo 2012 is on November 11, 2011.

The article reports on the double-blind review process to be used for papers submitted for the 2011 Industrial Engineering Research Conference (IERC). IERC co-chairman Eileen Van Aken says that the review process will prevent authors from knowing their reviewers nor reviewers of the authors to ensure integrity of the review process. Van Aken relates that a research shows possible unconscious or conscious biases when reviewers have the knowledge of the authors' identity, gender, and affiliation.
