Hi Gary, Your process essentially means that only people who are paid to write papers can submit! People who work for themselves have to endure a cost of over $10,000 to submit a paper this way. No one of us wants to waste that kind of time and money writing a full paper and hope to be accepted unless a paper can be submitted to several symposia at once.
You should accept on an abstract and summary and assign mentors to papers, especially papers from new authors, to insure quality. This method has worked as well as the IEEE method for the EOS/ESD Symposium. DesignCon and other symposia are much more author friendly and let you submit an abstract and summary right in a web form and their papers are as good and often more useful than papers at IEEE shows. Even with your process, many IEEE authors, from my observations, are poor presenters with poorly constructed slides, and others tell me this as well. In addition, there are also too many papers that have no application to the working engineer, which should be your main audience. Using an abstract/summary with mentors assigned to papers fixes most of the problems cited above. Any thoughts on fixing this?
