Upcoming Changes:Republication Policy???
04/19/233
PSPB proposed to prohibit “republication” — submitting “substantially duplicate” Conference Record papers to Transactions
TAB voted NOT TO ENDORSE
Conferences is working with PSPB to revise
Trying to allow republication via labeling(e.g., have “preprints” in Xplore, and allow “preprints” and “archival” papers to be substantially duplicate)

Upcoming Changes:Plagiarism Detection Tool

BoD mandate: all Xplore content must be checked for plagiarism, effective 2016
CrossCheck tool selected
Supplied at no charge (for now)– Only to conferences where IEEE holds copyright
– Significant effort needed to analyze output
Not mandatory yet, but all NPSS conferences should seriously consider using this!

NetSuite for Conferences is Here
Past Use Has Been Outcome Focused–Work on 2013 conferences focused around acquiring
materials, not creating usable system
Now Requiring All Conferences to Use NetSuite to Record Transactions–System credentials being distributed to all approved financially sponsored conferences
Rolling Out Training and Communications–Webinars, slide decks, etc.
Use NetSuite to Train New Conference Treasurers?
Creating Transparency Needed By AuditorsCreating Transparency Needed By Auditors5
Charge for TCS Starts 2016
Charge for Each “External” Conference that WeTechnically Co-Sponsor
Charge Will Be $1000 Plus $15 / Conference Record Paper in Xplore
NPSS Will Be Charged, But…
Simple Mechanism for NPSS to Pass Charge to Conference, If We So Desire
