Abstract

If you ever tried to describe the process of finding conference proceedings, people would think you’d lost it. Which would be fair. We’re told to include them - that’s the guidance. But finding them is plainly crazy. Not to find them would be the rational thing to do, of course, - only, it isn’t, because then you’d miss things, and people would think you were crazy too. The trouble isn’t the conferences themselves; it’s the architecture of how they are reported. We think that this can and should be fixed.
