Publication Culture in Computing Research
The dissemination of research results is an integral part of research and hence a crucial component
for any scientific discipline. In the area of computing research, there have been raised
concerns recently about its publication culture, most notably by highlighting the high priority of
conferences (compared to journals in other disciplines) and -- from an economic viewpoint -- the
costs of preparing and accessing research results.
The Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop 12452 “Publication Culture in Computing Research”
aimed at discussing the main problems with a selected group of researchers and practitioners.
The goal was to identify and classify the current problems and to suggest potential remedies.
The group of participants was selected in a way such that a wide spectrum of opinions would be
presented. This lead to intensive discussions.
The workshop is seen as an important step in the ongoing discussion. As a main result, the
main problem roots were identified and potential solutions were discussed. The insights will be
part of an upcoming manifesto on Publication Culture in Computing Research
