Scope

Each year, the ITiCSE conference Call for Participation (CFP) includes a call for working group proposals, which are a unique opportunity for computing educators, from different countries, to come together and collaborate on a topic of common interest. For ITiCSE 2014, the CFP invited any intending group leader(s) to submit a two-page proposal. Those proposals are evaluated by the working group coordinators, on the basis of likely interest in the suggested topic and the qualifications of the intending leaders. This year, seven applications were received, and four of those proposals were accepted. Approximately one month after the conference, three of the working groups submitted reports for refereeing. Each of three working group reports were evaluated by at least two referees, and also the two working group coordinators. On the basis of this refereeing process, all three working group reports that follow were accepted (with revisions) for publication. As ITiCSE 2014 approached, we had some working group members indicate that they would not be attending the conference, but they wanted to remain members of their group. As per the philosophy of the ITiCSE conferences and the direction of SIGCSE we did not agree to those people remaining members. For the ITiCSE conference when people propose a working group, or apply to join a group, it must be with the intention of coming to the conference -- especially people who propose to lead a group. Intrinsic to any conference is the concept of meeting face to face. The concept of an ITiCSE working group has evolved, and there is now a great deal of tacit knowledge on how these groups are run, managed, and coordinated. We would like to recommend for future ITiCSE Working Groups that people who propose to lead working groups should have at least one of the leaders with prior experience as a working group member.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.
