impersonality. On my page, you can even see my kitties :-)

| But look at the previous issue and read how many of the biographies
talk about former Digital employees (it even says so in the bio).

| 4172.3 | DTJ bios placement decision | RDVAX::BLAKE | | Fri Oct 06 1995 10:45 | 13 |
| I decided to move the biographies to accompany the articles because it
seemed to me the engineers weren't being tied closely enough to the
work they had done. Yes, one of the DTJ's purposes is to give the
engineers recognition; and I think the new format still accomplishes
that purpose. And with electronic publication per article, the bios
remain with the article, which is on the plus side for recognition
purposes. Single articles are being read around the world -- by
professors, customers, and competitors -- with author bios attached.

| I know this is consistent with how it is traditionally done e.g., Article and
Biographies. However, the Biographies really stood out in the past. Now I'll
never see Who's Who unless I actually read the article or search 'til the end
of the article, which is a pain, therefore, I'll never see who's being
recognized in some cases.
I agree the previous method didn't tie the individual to the articles very
easily.
Thanks for the rationality. Was just wonder. A trade-off has to be made and
was just wondering why. Forgot that it was also a World-wide circulation.

What?? You mean you'd actually have to READ about what the engineers are
being recognized for? Not just look at the pretty pictures?!?!?!?
SHOCK!! HORRORS!!!
For me, if folks aren't even interested in my work to at least read about
what I've done, then the recognition diesn't mean much. Might as well be
a glorified phone book. (A far easier way to get your name in print.)

Can the process that pulls single articles out of the DTJ for "electronic
publication" be adapted to pull out all the bios and put them together in a
single "article"?

| I suppose it could be done.... but I do want people to move away from
thinking of the DTJ as a who's who publication and to instead focus on
the excellent engineering that's going on.

| Put (keep?) the bios with each article.
I like to read about the authors with the work.
I like this in Scientific American, which recently went to this style,
and to other magazines and journals.
The collected bios are an artifact of journals that have teams of writers
mix'n'match on a set of articles - see the Hewlett-Packard Journal
for an example (though they group the bios by article in a separate bio
section - each author is included under the heading of the first article
he or she contributed to and cross-referenced under the other articles).
