If the AMS Notices is publishing papers that should instead be submitted to computer science publications (Software Practice and Experience comes to mind), should computer science journals publish papers on pure mathematics?
In fact they sometimes do [e.g. There's a hacked-up piece of obscure pure mathematics X that has an uninteresting algorithmic aspect to it, and some computer programmer "implemented" it, so please publish this as a contribution to computer science. Not having any reviewers with expertise in X, it gets published..] My point here is that an unenlightened and obscure part of a problem with one computer program has (I think mistakenly) been elevated to a discussion of mathematics, open source, computer program reliability, etc. It was probably not reviewed by any computer scientist with expertise in computer algebra systems. Should AMS publish a followup? Should it try to find appropriate reviewers this time? I hope that my frankness somehow falls within the proposd guidelines of the recenty proposed Code of Conduct. Sorry if it doesn't. RJF -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
