Hi!
I am thinking about the question how hard it is to create a new conference proceeding for an existing conference venue.
Would anyone of the JuliaCon Proceedings people able to comment a bit? Like I am interested in the booting process. How complicated things really are.
My loose ideas are so far:
- For review and paper hosting it should be possible to use https://openreview.net/?
- How is the long-term paper storage done? Like 10, 50 years.
- Is there complicated legal requirements?
- I feel like self-responsible type settings is OK these days. You just need to provide a standard MS Word and LaTeX template as done in NeuRIPS, etc. So authors are mostly responsible for this.
- There seems to be companies such as Scholastica doing that. But I want to keep the publishing practically free.
Any hints and directions are greatly appreciated! Maybe there is some good guides existing …
I am not interested in making any money, it should be a way to provide a good review system, improving the quality of the conference and offer alternatives to for-profit publishing (which is unfortunately very common in my field).
Best,
Felix
