This is a bit off the purpose of the list, for which I apologize. You can stop reading now if you like.
My company currently has no policy on, nor rewards for, publishing or presenting papers or articles. I want to propose initiating a policy. This would be greatly helped by knowing examples of what other companies do in this regard. Your comments on any of the following would be appreciated. 1) Is there a policy? 2) Is there a reward for publishing such as cash, gift, or recognition dinner ? 3) Are all papers/conferences/publications treated equally, or would a paper in the IEEE Transactions on EMC have a different reward than having an article appear in a controlled-circulation trade magazine? Thanks, Jack Jacob Z. Schanker, P.E.
