FOSS4G'13: Academic Track running stats

Academic Track running stats

Last saved by Franz-Josef Behr on March 1, 2013

AT stats on 23 Feb 11:30 (now officially closed, but still waiting for Jeremy ;-):

38 reviewers registered
52 authors registered
27 submissions

I did not look at the contents in detail, but it looks like a nice spread of subjects on first site, so we can get some interesting talks and journal articles out of it. But personally I find the amount of submissions disappointing...

As suggested by Suchith and Mark, I'll keep use this text file for running stats for number of submissions, reviewers, etcetera of teh Academic Track...

Steven Feldman on February 25, 2013:

Should we offer last opportunity to those rushing to finish off a paper?

Jo Cook on February 25, 2013:

Not sure if OJS has been tweaked to stop submissions yet? As soon as it is, I'll edit the main website. I have no probs with putting a message out to discuss/twitter giving them a couple of extra days- up to you.

I think that would be a good idea, however I may not be impartial in this - I'm currently wrestling with LaTeX.

Steven Feldman on February 25, 2013:

Why not message registered authors telling them to mail us if they need a couple of extra days?

Barend Köbben on February 25, 2013:

Hi all,

I did set up OJS to no longer allow submissions by any other then the editors, and have put this message on the OJS Submissions page:

"** Submissions for the 2013 Academic Track are now closed ***

If you have a late submission for valid reasons, contact the Academic Track chairs."

So yes Jo, if you can put the similar thing on the main site, that would be nice. And Mark, just send us the more finished paper if your LaTeX struggle is over...

Franz-Josef Behr on February 25, 2013:

Please write this in bold or italic letters.

If we as the editors can upload separately, it should be fine.

Jo Cook on February 25, 2013:

Main site edited as requested.

Franz-Josef Behr on February 25, 2013:

Thanks Jo, but where?

Should the "belated" option be mentioned at http://2013.foss4g.org/dates/?

Jo Cook on February 25, 2013:

Hi Franz,

You might want to reload your cache- the dates page says (now closed) after the submission date, the academic track CfP says it in bold at the top, and I've edited a couple of other pages where it was mentioned to say that it's now closed.

Hi Academic people, just looking at a schedule of press releases - do you have a date for publication of the academic track programme (ie the list papers accepted)? Thanks
Antony

Barend Köbben on March 1, 2013:

Well, reviewing should be done by April 22, which means we should be able to deliver a list of papers "accepted for presentation and publication" a couple of days after that (let's say we decide on that during the F2F, we'd have news by the 26th). The decision which ones are finally published in which journal will take longer, since we'd have to wait if people want to go for TGIS and are indeed put in the extra effort (they are quit strict on layout, lengtg and such).
