Of course not. I think I was pretty clear on that.
And only on your ensuing posts you seem to be making the same point I was making.
Your first remarks were probably hasty, but completely disparaging of the main point of the OP.
On your previous post you describe in detail the challenges in editing/publishing, and still you talk about formatting as an annoyance that consumes resources. Maybe you should look at non-compliance with formatting as a reason to reject papers.
As we all know, the scientific community as a whole has been criticized for lack of upholding quality standards for its publications.
This has been a subject of heated debate on some IEEE fora, for instance.
Just yesterday I was looking at a paper by some researchers from Kong Kong City University...
Yeah... Some people don't even know how to spell the name of their own institution. Should this kind of embarrassment be published?
That same feeling of embarrassment is what visual designers feel when they see design research published below very low publication design standards.
I've edited books. Anything non-standard either turns back to the author or gets corrected on the spot.
I don't see why that can't happen in conference proceedings.
Cheers,
