摘要

Academic conferences serve as vital platforms for publishing and disseminating research. Program committee (PC) members play an important role in organizing the conferences and overseeing the review and acceptance of submissions. Among various forms of collaboration, partnering with PC members has become both prevalent and influential. Examining whether such collaborations affect the quantity, quality, and efficiency of publications could provide valuable insights into academic collaboration. In this study, we investigated authors and papers presented at four premier security conferences, collectively known as the BIG4, i.e., IEEE symposium on security and privacy (S&P), ACM conference on computer and communications security (CCS), USENIX security symposium (USENIX Security), and network and distributed system security symposium (NDSS). Specifically, we analyzed the impact of collaborating with PC members on authors’ publications in these top venues. PC collaborations are classified into three categories: in-conference only, out-of-conference only, and both in- and out-of-conference. We assessed how the contribution of PC partnerships under different categories affect the quantity, quality, and efficiency of papers published in the BIG4. Some key observations were found: (1) approximately 66.75% of the papers presented at BIG4 conferences involve collaborations with PC members; (2) the higher levels of collaboration with PCs are associated with greater quantity, quality, and efficiency of publications; and (3) the stronger contributions from PCs amplify these positive effects.
