Now I wonder - are there many such papers (near 10 pages), or the most are much lengthy?Yuriynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890204.post-33957842497734393792010-02-11T10:55:50.954-05:002010-02-11T10:55:50.954-05:00I don't see any reason why you couldn't ha...I don't see any reason why you couldn't have a 15- or 20-page paper. The limit simply means that the reader had better be convinced, after reading the first 10 pages, that the remainder is worth reading.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890204.post-56083452639888474132010-02-11T10:48:45.869-05:002010-02-11T10:48:45.869-05:00Yuriy -- I'd like to think the committee would...Yuriy -- I'd like to think the committee would show a bit more discretion. So yes, if I have a 20 page paper, I shouldn't expect them to read 20 pages and should re-organize accordingly. But if my paper hits 10 1/2 pages and I still have references to go, I'd like to assume that (if they're still interested at that point) the reviewer will read to the end, and I won't have to play stupid games like deleting references or moving stuff around to hit an arbitrary 10 page limit.Michael Mitzenmacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02161161032642563814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890204.post-79224082675818804802010-02-11T10:03:28.450-05:002010-02-11T10:03:28.450-05:00I don't see the difference (concerning the no-...I don't see the difference (concerning the no-page-limit rule). If you want the committee to read what's most important to you, then you still have to go through "move-to-appendix" procedure, otherwise they will just read the first 10 pages (which are not necessarily the most important 10 pages). So to me this change looks mostly cosmetic.Yuriynoreply@blogger.com
