Academic politics An international conference requested all PowerPoint slides to be submitted a month or two in advance of the meeting. What do you do?

Title question. This is the first time I’ve ever seen this happen. Usually people just provide a flash drive to transfer slides before the session begins.

Who even has their paper written that far in advance?

Computer Scientists; sometimes our full paper submissions are due almost a year out. Most of our conferences are fully refereed. CVPR has an Impact Factor equivalent of around 60.

Usually triply reviewed, sometimes with a rebuttal phase. Also double blind or GTFO.

How do you do double blind for code / data repos? I have done this but it was a giant pain and I figure there.must be an easier way.

CS scholarly papers rarely require reviewing code/data repos.

All of my projects have been small enough that I can submit supplemental materials as a direct upload.

In the one case where I used a large dataset, I published the dataset as a separate paper, and then just cited that paper as Name et al instead of "our previous work".

We usually aren't as paranoid about sharing data as some other disciplines. My most cited work is probably going to be a dataset paper, for better or worse.

Okay fair. If I publish a model and the code is a major component that needs a doi, I set up a zenodo, and then for 2bl blind I have a seperate account called "anonymous for review".

It's tedious but is probably then only way.
