Publications
Remark: In my domain, peer-reviewed conference papers are typically attributed the same standing and credit as journal papers. Conference papers are submitted as full-length, 6-14-page papers in ACM/IEEE double-column format, for review. At least three expert reviewers judge all submissions on significance. Major conferences only accept 15-25% of all submissions, and there is typically no chance to revise a paper after reviewing.
