Making computation count

Abstract

This issue's expert guest column is by Eric Allender, who has just taken over the Structural Complexity Column in the Bulletin of the EATCS. Regarding "Journals to Die For" ( SIGACT News Complexity Theory Column 16), Joachim von zur Gathen, the editor-in-chief of computational complexity, has written me pointing out, quite correctly, that I cheated his journal of a point. His journal, in the issue checked, does include the email address of each author. I apologize for the missing point. Joachim also asked me to mention that, while the journal does not require the "alpha" citation style, it does strongly advise authors to use that style.
