Each month\, the participants would agree on a highly cited \, 'top ten' or major-prize-winning article in an SPS or ComSoc journal (b ut not one of our own!). We would also select a Discussion Leader. Through the month\, each of the participants would read the article. At the next meeting\, the Discussion Leader would lead a discussion of that article\, starting with his/her own appraisal. In this way\, it is hoped that we cou ld all broaden our understanding of the field and further develop a sense of community. 1st rule of 1st Tuesday Journal-Paper Club: tell everyone ab out 1st Tuesday Journal-Paper Club.\n\nSpeaker(s): \, \, \, \n\nAgenda: \n Conference paper selectivity and impact\n\nStudying Metadata of the ACM Di gital Library (http://www.acm.org/dl)\, we found that papers in low-accept ance-rate conferences have higher impact than those in high-acceptance-rat e conferences within ACM\, where impact is measured by the number of citat ions received. We also found that highly selective conferences—those tha t accept 30% or less of submissions—are cited at a rate comparable to or greater than ACM Transactions and journals.\n\nThe role of conference pub lications in CS\n\nA bibliometric view of the publishing frequency and imp act of conference proceedings compared to archival journal publication.\n\ nBldg: Brewhouse Brisbane\, 601 Stanley St.\, Woolloongabba\, Queensland\, Australia\, 4102 LOCATION:Bldg: Brewhouse Brisbane\, 601 Stanley St.\, Woolloongabba\, Queen sland\, Australia\, 4102 ORGANIZER:a.bradley@itee.uq.edu.au SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:1st Tuesday Journal-Paper Club: June 2015 meeting URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/32227 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>This month's papers are:</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;&l dquo\;Conference Paper Selectivity and Impact&rdquo\; in a 2010 issue of t he Communications of the ACM</p>\n<p>-http://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2010/6 /92485-conference-paper-selectivity-and-impact/fulltext)</p>\n<p>&ldquo\;T he Role of Conference Publications in CS&rdquo\; in the same journal</p>\n <p>- http://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2010/12/102124-the-role-of-conference-p ublications-in-cs/fulltext)</p>\n<p>Professor Paul Strooper has kindly agr eed to lead the discussion and the venue will again be the Brisbane Brewho use (see address details &amp\; map below).</p>\n<p>*About the 1st Tuesday Journal-Paper Club:* the idea is to meet regularly\, usually on the 1st T uesday of the month as the name suggests (inspired by the ABC TV series "1 st Tuesday Book Club").
