Selection process

The process of selecting high quality papers/panels/cases for inclusion in ReSNES is demanding. Each of the individuals who assisted in the process is owed a debt of thanks. We are sincerely grateful for the time and effort that they devoted to ensure a strong and balanced program covering the major issues and concerns for the development of e-Skills, as well as other professionals who incorporate Information Technology within their disciplines. The fruits of their labour are evident in the papers found in this proceedings.

Copies of word-processed manuscripts were submitted to this year’s research committee chair. Each paper was then given a brief editorial review to assure proper submission and the papers were then converted to PDF format for convenient reviewer access. Each paper was then assigned to two reviewers for blind review.

Reviewers rated and commented on the submissions on the basis of the appropriateness of the topic, the contribution of the approach, and results toward strengthening their e-Skills for Equitable Prosperity and Global Competitiveness. Acceptance recommendations were returned to the research chair that was responsible for making the final acceptance decision. Authors of accepted papers (or extended abstracts) were notified of their acceptance status, were provided with reviewer feedback for potential research/paper improvements, and were directed to the conference web-site to review guidelines for submitting final paper copy of revised/formatted articles.

The articles submitted by authors who met conference qualifications and completed their final drafts by the specified deadline appear in these proceedings. Authors retain full copyright of their work but are requested to cite these proceedings where appropriate.  ISBN: 978-0-620-51804-8 - ReSNES Proceedings 2011.
