Communications of the ACM

March 9th, 2006

One of the best things that has happened to me this term is my writing 214 class encouraging me to read peer reviewed journals. My only prior experience with such journals is seeing them outside a professors door waiting for office hours. The topic were always very specific, technical, and over my head. For those reasons I have never really had any interest in reading them.

“The communications of the ACM” has been my journal of choice. It turns out that all my prior journal stereotypes were wrong. Sure, there may be some overly convoluted titles, but the articles are very relevant to my life and career. With that, I give you the moral of the blog post: Read your peer reviewed journals.
