I might be too uninformed, but I doubt the main issue is costs per page production. In HCI, people have increased page limits consistently over the past couple of years, and I don't see why their costs would be substantially different from AI page costs. I agree that it's a topic for more than a blog comment, it was my implicit attempt at getting you to write a post about the topic :-)OAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10041100371757621124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8155449433628681182.post-55852614815280192772016-04-19T15:15:04.984-07:002016-04-19T15:15:04.984-07:00DISCLAIMER: Page length limitations are a fraught ...DISCLAIMER: Page length limitations are a fraught issue; and it is hard to address it in a blog comment response. So, I will do the honorable thing and give you a Seinfeld link:<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5xCOF65ols<br /><br />:----)<br /><br />Ps: With a little less levity: I realized long ago that most academic researchers don't quite understand how pricing systems work (or they won't be working in academia to begin with :). For example, here is a simple question, the answer to which, I am sure most IJCAI attendees will have hard time guessing: What does a conference hotel (e.g. the one we will be at for IJCAI) charge for a soft drink can that is "self-serve" i.e., picked up by yourself, during, say, a student reception.

Given that we don't really print proceedings anymore, what's the reason to have the 7 page limit (and why does an additional page cost $275?!)? <br /><br />With the camera-ready deadline approaching, I see many people spending time now cutting a word here or there, essentially making the paper less clear (smaller figures, less explanations). I think it's both a waste of time, and worse, reduces reproducability and understanding of the research. As a reviewer, I also find that the page limit often just makes papers harder to review. <br /><br />Many conferences have significantly increased their page limits in recent years, and some just don't have a limit but say contribution is judged with respect to length. I personally think it's time to experiment with increasing page limits in our conferences and was wondering what your thoughts are about that...OAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10041100371757621124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8155449433628681182.post-20078827059724324852016-04-19T03:51:48.233-07:002016-04-19T03:51:48.233-07:00that's super interesting, thanks!
I'd say ...that's super interesting, thanks!<br />I'd say "X financially supported this work" sounds less "somewhat questionable" and more like flat-out bribe. <br /><br />did anyone remove an author from the list?
