Nice ideas. The challenge I see here is actually in reviewing. Too often, we get back reviews that say, “what about X’s work on Y”. I think it’s very rare that I get back a set of reviews that don’t add 2-3 new references to my work, despite what I thought had been a relatively exhaustive literature review. In fact, I recently got that in a paper for which I had cherry-picked my previous work from my 200-reference comprehensive paper.

It’s hard to go for depth and quality when we know that reviewers are simply looking to see if we’ve cited papers X, Y, and Z, not if we’ve understood the context of our work.

Perhaps we should be giving different instructions to our reviewers in this context?

This is a sensible idea but impractical for conferences. But I would expect no less for journal submissions. Perhaps this is a good time for me to publicise our forthcoming special issue of the IJHCS? :-)

We need better related work sections. Is this possible?

I wonder if the problem is more that we rely too heavily upon (and expect too much from) conference papers and don’t often enough take the time to write the proper, in-depth journal articles to back the ideas up.
