Partial Refereeing at IPAC'17
Contact: Ivan Andrian (Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste)
IPAC'17 is testing the possibility to have a subset of papers refereed and then published in a Journal.
Why
To increase the impact factor of (some) papers presented at our conferences.
- Requested more and more by authors and institutes
- Can increase the (recognized) value of the papers
How
- Requested by APS-AG
- Detailed outcome of a dedicated working group
- Idea presented at the 2016 Stakeholders' meeting
- SPMS development needed
What
- 200 papers will be refereed by a group of referees from APS-AG
- authors can express the will to be part of this process
- abstracts will be evaluated and accepted for this process
- backup to 'normal' JACoW papers
- paper submission deadline two weeks ahead of normal deadline
- papers will be refereed first
- editing starts only after this process
Proceedings
- all accepted papers published at JACoW.org
- 200-papers subset published also at Institute of Physics Journal of Physics: Conference Series
- other subset will be published at PRAB as usual (extended version)
And then...
- this first test will be evaluated after the publication
- could be adopted by next IPACs
- and even by other JACoW conferences
