Expertise modeling for matching papers with reviewers
No full textAn essential part of an expert-finding task, such as matching reviewers to submitted papers, is the ability to model the expertise of a person based on documents. We evaluate several measures of the association between an author in an existing collection of research papers and a previously unseen document. We compare two language model based approaches with a novel topic model, Author-Persona-Topic (APT). In this model, each author can write under one or more “personas,” which are represented as independent distributions over hidden topics. Examples of previous papers written by prospective reviewers are gathered from the Rexa database, which extracts and disambiguates author mentions from documents gathered from the web. We evaluate the models using a reviewer matching task based on human relevance judgments determining how well the expertise of proposed reviewers matches a submission. We find that the APT topic model outperforms the other models. 1

Reply to the Reviewers
No full textThis paper is a satire of the response document submitted when a paper needs revisions. It expresses the perspective of a disgruntled author, who, instead of actually discussing the reviewers’ comments, gets sidetracked into complaining about the role of the peer reviewer. Through a discussion of the goals of philosophical research, it defends the claim that philosophers should be allowed to charter their own course and develop theories that appease their intellectual tastes. Yet, peer reviewers often insert their own tastes when reviewing a manuscript. As a result, too many papers end up getting rejected

Dealing with reviewers’ comments in the publication process
No full textThis article focuses on the challenges for authors of dealing with an editor’s and reviewers’ comments within the manuscript publication process. The paper commences with an overview of the peer review process. The nature and style of comments from editors and reviewers is outlined and the inherent meaning demystified. Using a wide range of anonymised examples, sample comments are categorised according to their ease of being addressed and whether or not the author agrees with them and the need to respond highlighted. Advice is offered regarding the construction of a response document, outlining how editor and reviewer comments have been addressed in the revised manuscript and an example comprising both editor and reviewer comments and author responses provided. The importance of this document in providing a clear audit trail of associated amendments to the manuscript and their justifications in response to the editor’s and reviewers’ comments is emphasised

We evaluate several measures of the association between a document to be reviewed and an author, represented by their previous papers. We compare language-model-based approaches with a novel topic model, Author-Persona-Topic (APT). In this model, each author can write under one or more “personas, ” which are represented as independent distributions over hidden topics. Examples of previous papers written by prospective reviewers are gathered from the Rexa database, which extracts and disambiguates author mentions from documents gathered from the web.

Irrigation conveyance loss. Technical report 04-008. Project scenario document DDW-020 final as built
No full textDesign documents are a series of technical papers addressing specific design topics on the eastern Snake River Plain Aquifer Model upgrade. Each design document will contain the following information: topic of the design document, how that topic fits into the whole project, which design alternatives were considered and which design alternative is proposed. In draft form, design documents are used to present proposed designs to reviewers. Reviewers are encouraged to submit suggested alternatives and comments to the design document. Reviewers include all members of the Eastern Snake Hydrologic Modeling (ESHM) Committee as well as selected experts outside of the committee. The design document author will consider all suggestions from reviewers, update the draft design document, and submit the design document to the SRPAM Model Upgrade Program Manager. The Program Manager will make a final decision regarding the technical design of the described component. The author will modify the design document and publish the document in its final form in .pdf format on the SRPAM Model Upgrade web site. Final model documentation will include all of the design documents, edited to ensure that the “as-built” condition is appropriately represented. This is the final as-built document for conveyance loss in irrigation canals. Some of the water lost from irrigation is seepage from canals and ditches. This water is not available for irrigation and therefore neither available for crop evapotranspiration (ET) nor for recharge associated with irrigated agricultural fields. However, the leakage is still a component of recharge associated with irrigation activity. Seepage from canals can be an important source of aquifer recharge. Long canals in porous soils can loose 40 percent or more of the water diverted from the source (Chavez-Morales 1985). In Idaho’s climate, virtually all of this loss is associated with leakage to the aquifer (Dreher and Tuthill 1999).1 This Design Document explores options for treating canal leakage in the water budget

Final model documentation will include all of the design documents, edited to ensure that the “as-built” condition is appropriately represented. This design document describes the designation of portions of the study area into “Ground Water Irrigation Polygons” for the purpose of recharge calculation. The withdrawals associated with irrigation from ground water are a negative recharge and will be calculated according to the equation: Net Recharge (ground water) = Precipitation - (ET x Adjustment Factor). The ET adjustment factor will be applied according to the geographic location of the irrigated land being calculated and the application method used to apply water. Adjustment factor and application method parameters for irrigation from ground water will be carried as attributes of the ground water irrigation polygon map. This paper describes the construction of the ground water irrigation polygon map. Parameters for surface water irrigation will be carried as attributes of the aggregated surface water entity map, described in Design Document DDW-008

Final model documentation will include all of the design documents, edited to ensure that the “as-built” condition is appropriately represented. Numerical models are discretized into a grid of cells. Ground water flow equations are then solved to describe ground water flow between adjacent model cells. Some of the decisions that must be made prior to numerically modeling an aquifer include how best to orient the grid, and the cell dimensions. These are the determinations addressed in this Design Document. In this document discussions will first focus on grid orientation and then cell size
