Is it purely a historical reason that the ACM publishes its Transactions separately from the SIGs or are there other reasons? From those that I have experience of, it would seem that the SIG newsletters are generally stronger where there is not a Transactions publication in a similar field. For example, the SIGCHI Bulletin is consistently very good, whereas the SIGLINK and SIGIR newsletters seem to perhaps lose out to Transactions on Information Systems. It would seem in many ways to be simpler / easier to move the Transactions under the wings of the SIGs where appropriate. -- Stephen Hebditch TQM Communications steveh@orbital.demon.co.uk +44 836 825962
