Despite what the ACM's contract tries to imply (by "giving" you the right to post a "pre-peer review" version anywhere, a right you of course already have), they have no control over anything until you sign the contract. And any action they might try to take after that point isn't going to be helped by the new "author retains copyright" option.<br /><br />(Also, I figure that any refusal by the ACM to publish a paper, as they did with Russell O'Connor's paper, will raise far more publicity for the paper than I could ever hope to.)Joshua Dunfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649077332425628410noreply@blogger.com
