Michalis Faloutsos
Abstract
We did it! A few CCR issues back, this column argued in favor of an all open review. At the time, most people thought that it was a joke. Quite frankly, we meant it as a joke. It is a crazy world we live in. No, seriously, it was not so much of a joke, as a wild attempt to think outside the box. Or else, desperate times call for desperate measures. Something like that. Apparently, we were so desperate that we actually tried it. And it worked. Beautifully. But then again, we may be biased.
"To say it was easy would be a lie." R. Rejaie and M. Faloutsos, early 21st century.
