Information Systems Category Editor Needed for Computing Reviews
Anyone interested in topic maps is likely to be interested in positions such as this one. Your chance to contribute back to the community.
Computing Reviews, the post-publication review and comment journal of ACM, is seeking a volunteer editor interested in serving as category editor for the information systems area (encompassing models & principles, database management, information storage & retrieval, and information systems applications).
The qualified candidate will be prepared to check written reviews of already-published items for quality, and the classification terms from ACM’s CCS for accuracy, as well as use a Web-based editing system to make any suggested changes to the CCS terms or to the review itself. Most importantly, the category editor provides feedback to the review’s author so that existing guidelines are met. He or she also works with staff and reviewers to develop additional features for the publication. This is an opportunity for an enthusiast in the discipline to use specialist knowledge to contribute to a product that helps others navigate and sift through the computing literature. The time commitment is approximately 1-2 hours per week.
It may just be boiler-plate but I would be most interested in:
He or she also works with staff and reviewers to develop additional features for the publication.
The first feature I would like to see is a common login for my ACM + Digital Library account and Computing Reviews.
The second feature would be citation networks for articles.
What features would you like to see?
