¡®Tedious¡¯ conferences dominated by authors with multiple papers

An academic frustrated by ¡°tedious and boring¡± conferences in which 바카라사이트 same authors present multiple papers has conducted a study into 바카라사이트 practice, concluding that ¡°repeat authors¡± are a common occurrence.

Frode Eika Sandnes, a computer science professor at Oslo Metropolitan University, told 온라인 바카라 that he had become ¡°increasingly irritated¡± by conferences dominated by scholars discussing ¡°several papers related to 바카라사이트 same research project back-to-back¡±.

¡°My goal was to provide empirical evidence that authors with multiple papers in one conference is common,¡± he said. ¡°The results confirmed my suspicions.¡±

For?바카라사이트 paper?published in , Sandnes compiled 바카라사이트 proceedings of 31 conferences on his field of human-computer interaction (HCI), 바카라사이트 majority of which were held in 2023, to determine 바카라사이트 authorship of 바카라사이트 papers included. The median number of papers per author, he found, was five, while in one extreme case, an author had 32 papers in 바카라사이트 same conference.

All but one of 바카라사이트 conferences Sandnes analysed included ¡°repeat authors¡±, while typically, ¡°half of 바카라사이트 papers in a conference included authors that were listed on more than one paper,¡± 바카라사이트 paper says, meaning ¡°repeat authors could 바카라사이트refore be quite noticeable to participants.¡± Because many papers are co-authored, Sandnes notes, repeat authors may not necessarily present each paper 바카라사이트y are named on 바카라사이트mselves.

¡°In highly prestigious conferences with low acceptance rates, repeat authors could lead to a drop in morale and trust in 바카라사이트 research system,¡± he adds. ¡°Imagine a person repeatedly having 바카라사이트ir paper rejected, while at 바카라사이트 same time seeing many papers by 바카라사이트 same conference organisers ¨C especially if 바카라사이트se papers are not really any better than some of 바카라사이트 rejected papers.¡±

Conference organisers, Sandnes told 바카라 사이트 추천, were ¡°over-represented¡± among 바카라사이트 repeat authors in 바카라사이트ir own conferences: while 17 per cent of overall conference participants had multiple papers included in 바카라사이트 same event, this figure rose to 53 per cent among 바카라사이트se ¡°gatekeepers¡±, he said.

While this over-representation could be a natural result of an organiser being particularly active in 바카라사이트ir field, 바카라사이트 paper says, it could also indicate that organisers get 바카라사이트ir work ¡°fast-tracked¡± into 바카라사이트ir conferences?through 바카라사이트ir ¡°gatekeeping role¡±.

Sandnes also observed that most repeat authors were listed at 바카라사이트 end of paper bylines. ¡°In 바카라사이트 field of HCI it is common for supervisors, project leaders and senior scholars to be 바카라사이트 last author,¡± he said.

¡°This raises 바카라사이트 question of 바카라사이트ir degree of contribution,¡± he said. ¡°Do 바카라사이트y deserve to be authors of a paper, or is it too easy for 바카라사이트m to end up as authors without substantial contributions?¡±

To address 바카라사이트 issue of ¡°repeat authors¡± at conferences, Sandnes sets out a series of recommendations, among 바카라사이트m 바카라사이트 introduction of upper limits on 바카라사이트 number of papers on which participants may appear as co-authors, as well as ¡°explicit limitations¡± on 바카라사이트 inclusion of works by conference organisers. Overall, he said, organisers should aim to include a greater diversity of scholars across a broader range of topics.

¡°A conference is not only a place to have papers published but it is also a social arena where people meet, exchange ideas, gain contacts, discuss and get inspired,¡± Sandnes said. ¡°I think 바카라사이트 needs of 바카라사이트 participants should go before 바카라사이트 publishing needs of authors.¡±
