Plenaries

SPC25

ACAT24 Proceedings:

• Total 76 submitted
• 37 accepted (~ 50%)
• 5 to be corrected
• 11 assigned (Jennifer will ping back the reviewers this week)
• 22 unassigned (~ 30%) -- requesting help from the IAC

 

Side comment: reviewers found a few papers clearly written with AI (a sloppy one) such that helping the authors to provide a better manuscript and avoid rejection takes a long time for the reviewer as there is too much to correct. Discuss how to proceed for such cases for the future. One example is #64.

 

ACAT25 preparation:

• Jennifer & Chiara sent invitations to SPC candidates (a few already accepted)
• For Gregor:
  • Send 1st bulletin to acat-info@cern.ch
    
  • Delete old indico: https://indico.cern.ch/event/1484682/
  • Fix inspire: https://inspirehep.net/conferences/2810973?ui-citation-summary=true
• For the IAC: propose plenaries here
• For David: add Chiara (SPC co-chair) to IAC mail list ? 
• Tentative abstract deadlines: open this week with bulletin, keep it opened for ~ 1.5 months (February 19th) + ~ 10 days extension (March 2nd) --> 1.5 month to review and send confirmation then we are in mid April. Which gives people 4 months to organize the travel.
