ASSETS 2008 News

Mentoring Programme

Help with submissions by seasoned researchers is available through the ASSETS Mentoring Program. Applicants may receive advice on their submission in any of the submission categories provided by ASSETS. Although we do not guarantee that your submission will be accepted by ASSETS, most individuals who have used the mentoring service at ASSETS or at the CHI conference where it began have reported positive experiences and an improved understanding of what is required by reviewers.

If you think you would benefit from mentoring either because you are new to presenting your research, new to the type of category you are interested in submitting to or simply find that preparing English language papers foreign to your paper writing experience, please consider applying for mentoring help. For more information, and to apply to the mentoring programme, please see the ASSETS Mentor Programme Page.

ASSETS 2008 Author's Rebuttal Procedure

As preparations for ASSETS 2008 continue, the general conference Chair, Dr. Simon Harper and SIGACCESS Chair, Vicky Hanson, have decided to propose to enhance the reviewing process by allowing an optional author's rebuttal to the initial set of reviewers' comments.

It is hoped that this extra step in the process might help resolve instances in which simple clarifications to ambiguities or minor omissions in the submissions, raised by the reviewers, could project some of the papers in their full worth.

The process should help in reducing the instances in which minor details or communication imprecision prevent worthwhile research endeavours from being assessed in their full impact. Furthermore, the added effort implicit in the rebuttal stage should be minimised by performing the reviewing process on a submission/reviewing system that fully supports this stage.

For full details, please see the Author's Rebuttal Prceducre pages.
