I'd say that we don't own the copyright in any way, so you should be free to put your abstract up wherever you like. However, I do agree with others that the risk to you is its public nature. You essentially give up the blind review if you post the abstract. You many not care about that, and indeed reviewers may "guess" who you are anyway, and/or find you online via other kinds of keyword searches. But, reviewers may care about the blind aspect of their review. You may also want to consider the downside of posting an abstract that might be rejected. So, I'd recommend following Nancy's suggestion of putting up the abstract after acceptance/rejection. It will only be 6-8 weeks wait after the closing date. /Caroline --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Caroline Haythornthwaite (haythorn@uiuc.edu) www.lis.uiuc.edu/~haythorn Associate Professor phone: (217) 244-7453 Graduate School of Library and Information Science fax: (217) 244-3302 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 501 East Daniel St., Champaign, IL 61820 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Thu, 17 Feb 2005, Lilia Efimova wrote:

This is why I'm wondering. Posting something under review online is a risk (unconvinience :) already, but blogging it amplifies chances to be found. Given that I'm writing on weblogs and weblog research world is small even announcing it in my weblog amplifies chances of being found by reviewers.
Personally I don't mind (the world is too small for blind reviews anyway :), but don't want to create extra problems for the conference organisers...

i dunno what others will say, but i was putting my coauthored paper proposal online eventually, if i haven't done so already. i do think that blogging it could be an issue because content would be distributed in rss. i think it would be best to put it up on a page, then link to that instead of blogging it directly. my concern is that perhaps the reviewers already subscribe to your feed, and that probably wouldn't be ideal. mine is going up on a wiki, with other ones of mine.

Dear all,
I guess that my question is more for the conference organisers, but I'm curious to know about opinions in the community as well.
Can I post my proposal for IR 6.0 online?
Being a blogger I'd love to post my proposal online and I'd do it immediately after submitting it for the review - this is my usual practice of sharing work-in-progress as early as possible. Of course, this could interfere the review process, so I'd like to know what are the accepted practices in AOIR regarding it.
