Hi SIMSOC,
This question comes in two parts, although I doubt that either will have a good answer. I’m not even sure I can express them accurately, so apologies in advance.
My first question is: does anyone have any recommendations for 'good publications’ (defined as you wish) for more technical/methodological agent-based modelling work? One example of this might be a paper that develops new optimisation algorithms for ABMs specifically, or one that proposes a computationally efficient way to structure ABM programs.
The second, related, question is: does anyone have a sense for how well ‘respected’ (again defined as you wish) peer-reviewed conference proceedings are in the ‘ABM community'? E.g. something like the AAMAS proceedings which, I understand, are quite rigorously reviewed. In the harder sciences it’s really common to publish work in proceedings, but less so in the softer sciences in my experience. Our work often sits on the fence. Maybe more precise questions are: “are you more/less likely to come across a paper if it is in proceedings rather than a journal?” and “would you look favourably on a candidate for a job who had large numbers of publications in proceedings rather than in traditional journals?”.
All the best,
Nick
