Peripherals of inroads to a magazine status that would include sections containing the three categories stated in #3 above. We hope this change would encourage more authors to submit quality papers to inroads. The new level would also allow authors to receive appropriate recognition for their efforts. This change would require a greater volunteer endeavor in the review process since we would need area editors, reviewers, and an editorial board. Notwithstanding, we feel that the SIGCSE community has a strong volunteer base and its members would step up to the challenge. Response Summary from the SIGCSE Community Since the issuance of the message above, the response from the SIGCSE community has been overwhelmingly positive. SIGCSE members seem delighted with the prospect that authors submitting articles to inroads will hopefully receive a new level of acceptance from the academic community. That is, their work would not be relegated to newsletter status, but to a new and more acceptable level of quality in a magazine. Some random statements from SIGCSE members include: ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢ This proposal represents an appropriate next stage for inroads, which has long been an exceptional SIG publication, far removed from the normal "newsletter." I support the change to magazine status. Mostly OK, but please leave a place for articles that don't need reviewing. Too many journal articles are stuffy, humorless, boring, and don't get to the point - because they are trying to please reviewers and/or academic committees. If the publication in which the paper appears looks like a magazine, then the item treated as a magazine article, and any higher status is entirely ignored. I support the proposed changes to the SIGCSE publication inroads. I would be willing to volunteer some of my time as a reviewer. I really don't see any downside to these changes, unless you might have trouble getting reviewers. I also think that "magazine" would be far more appropriate than "newsletter" - or "journal" - for inroads. By all means, go for this classification! These all sound like terrific ideas. I think the main issues are migrating away from "newsletter" status and removing the redundancy of the conference proceedings. The other issues are all byproducts of these. I'm not sure what the financial implications are, but conceptually I support all three of these proposals. As you see, SIGCSE members have diverse views. I appreciate receiving the concerns expressed. However, the underlying consensus is positive. The SIGCSE Board has received all comments verbatim and it will make its recommendation to the ACM Publications Board accordingly. I take this opportunity thank the SIGCSE community for its interest in this matter. John Impagliazzo Editor-in-Chief, inroads inroads SIGCSE Bulletin - 113 - Volume 40, Number 4 2008 December
