#Response DateOther (or elaboration)
1Nov 2, 2011 3:34 AMI refrained from discussing my work with colleagues from other institutions during the reviewing process.
2Nov 1, 2011 2:57 PMMy main experience of awkwardness was that I found myself hesitating to send the paper to *anybody* because, each time I did, I had to check that they were not on the PC or the ERC -- and then double-check again because I was nervous about getting hammered if I made a mistake.
3Nov 1, 2011 1:47 PMI had to hold myself back when discussing ideas with colleagues, not to disclose the outstanding POPL submission.
4Oct 24, 2011 10:04 AMWould have posted the draft to arxiv.
5Oct 24, 2011 3:06 AMI did give talks on this material and only much later realised that there were PC/ERC members in the audience. My behaviour would not have changed had I known because I was invited by non-PC members.
6Oct 22, 2011 11:37 AMnot sure
7Oct 22, 2011 5:55 AMnone of the above
8Oct 21, 2011 3:12 PMI did not contact a potential thesis committee member for fear of interfering with the DBR. This inconvenienced me quite a bit. The timing was pure coincidence, though.
9Oct 21, 2011 2:19 PMThere was no significant change in this case.
10Oct 18, 2011 4:52 AMDid not offer to give a talk at any institution.
11Oct 17, 2011 5:26 PMNo change in action.
12Oct 17, 2011 4:01 PMI did not change my actions. Anyway, I think sending stuff to PC/ERC members for comments should not be done after submission, but obviously that cannot be controlled.
13Oct 17, 2011 1:29 PMDid not affect the dissemination of my research
14Oct 17, 2011 11:35 AMdid not send draft to interested colleagues
15Oct 17, 2011 10:53 AM(See above -- felt leary about advertising for a post doc position. Wound up advertising late in the process.)
16Oct 17, 2011 9:02 AMNormally I would have placed a draft of my paper on my webpage not long after submission.
17Oct 17, 2011 8:35 AMThe work has been presented at several workshops before. It is likely the referees recognized it.
18Oct 17, 2011 8:32 AMNone - I didn't change anything.
19Oct 17, 2011 8:30 AMI did put the submission on my Web pages, as I usually do, but had no compelling reason to send it directly to a PC/ERC member. I did refrain from sending it to one colleague because I thought he might be asked to do an external review.
20Oct 17, 2011 8:17 AMNone of the above. Since I was burned in the past with telling people about research results before publication, I no longer do so or only if I can speak at a reasonably large number of places at once.
21Oct 17, 2011 8:10 AMThe review period overlapped with my attending several conferences. I met several ERC members there, who are experts in the field. I would normally have discussed the paper with them, but I felt that I could not. So lots of wasted opportunities.
22Oct 17, 2011 8:00 AMIn this case, due to scheduling constraints, I probably would not have given a talk at an institution at which a PC/ERC member was located anyway. But I have done so in the recent past for other papers (e.g. I gave a talk about my (venue redacted) paper, while it was under submission, at institutions where PC members were located).
23Oct 17, 2011 7:54 AMI rarely distribute/promote work before paper is accepted, so nothing changed because of the reviewing process.
24Oct 17, 2011 7:49 AMI think that it was pretty easy for the PC or ERC members to know that I wrote the paper in that specific case, so I did not try to hide too much. On the other hand, I avoided sending my paper directly to PC/ERC members (I very scarcely do it in any case) or did not announce the work on the mailing lists of interest.
