Agreed here – our subject matter isn’t the deep past stuff that they are looking for. Though it’s a shame as it’d be very easy for me to attend/present :smiley:

16

also, let me know if there’s anything I can do to help wrap up the SSNA paper!

Hi guys, I had a stab at wrapping up the OpenCare paper. I only need a few things:

  • @markomanka I did some editing, including to section 4.3 (yours). My goal was to have shorter sentences and simpler syntax. Doing this, I found something I don’t understand. You write:

It descends from the above that an empirical divergence can be computed from compression \cite{Merh93} that would suit the requirements of a universal classifier.

A divergence between what and what else? What is a universal classifier?

  • @markomanka I do not understand items 2 and 3 on page 10. Maybe we should have a call?
  • The work of comparing different methods to reduce the graph I started with @melancon and @jason_vallet is not finished, but I think we have waited too long and we should submit now.
  • @amelia can you lead the submission process?

Thanks for this @Alberto, things have been busy lately and I appreciate you pushing this forward.

Can do. Do we have a journal that we’re already looking at, or shall I search for something appropriate?

19

If we don’t have a plan yet, I vote we shoot high and submit to Social Networks.

20

@melancon had proposed Social Science Computer Review - I think we chose this also based on the Editorial board (for anthro: Michael Fischer. Rings a bell?). This is also why I am asking you to review for a right “hi-tech anthro” gloss. Failing that, a new journal, the Journal of Computational Social Science. See here. Social networks obviously attractive, again Guy will have a better sense of how good a fit that it.

21

I’m about to submit the paper (reformatting to fit the journal requirements now), but need everyone to fill two forms out (the Author Information Form and the Copyright Permission Form) and email them to the editor at garson@ncsu.edu. Preferably do this by Monday EOB!

You can find both here: https://faculty.chass.ncsu.edu/garson/SSCORE/library.htm

@alberto @jason_vallet @melancon @markomanka

22

I also need:

Bioskech of 1-3 sentences w/ email contact for each author and coauthor, following body

23

Just a heads up: H2020-funded publications are subject to the constraint of publishing in Open Access. SSRC supports green OA. We can (and should) publish the submitted version to Zenodo upon submission. The accepted version can be posted to OA repos only after 12 months of publication (source). Going gold OA costs 3K USD, and I refuse to pay it.

The Copyright Permission Form can be done by the lead author only, so I’m taking care of it. Can please @melancon @jason_vallet and @markomanka:

  1. fill in their own Author information forms
  2. send them to garson@ncsu.edu, cc Amelia.
  3. Send Amelia their biosketches.

My biosketch:

Worked with governments and inter-governmental organizations in various capacities; now entrepreneuring at Edgeryders, and civic hacking with Wikitalia and Spaghetti Open Data.

25

@alberto, do you want your PhD candidacy at alicante in your biosketch?

26

Do you think it’s relevant? (Ok, you obviously do. Thanks for doing the work. You can leave my biosketch as it is).

Alright all, we have been told the paper is out of scope for SSCR.

I vote we target a more explicitly methods focused journal, like this one:

http://journals.sagepub.com/home/fmx

Any other ideas?

Personally my vote is for Field Methods.

Give me the go ahead and I’ll reformat and submit.

33

Go ahead! And thanks.
