ACM Categories and Levels of Prepublication Evaluation

摘要

The following definitions of prepublication evaluation are used to characterize sections or departments of publications, and by extension the publications themselves. The term "refereed journal" is reserved for serial publications which contain a preponderance of refereed material, and serve an archival function. If material in other categories is included, it should be distinguished in some fashion, and consideration to keeping the distinction clear should be given in deciding what to include in refereed journals. This designation implies a continuing body of editors and referee/reviewers, the setting up of which is implicitly authorized by the Publications Board in chartering the publication.
