部分社會科學領域期刊在其徵稿須知中提及可接受會議論文的改寫或延伸版本，且指出需要有新內容、將原始會議論文列在參考文獻中，顯示延伸出版的議題已逐漸受到關注。本研究以ACM EC、ACM KDD與ACM CIKM等三個ACM資管領域重要的國際學術會議在2011年出版的會議論文為研究對象，分析延伸出版的數量、比率與文獻類型、會議論文與期刊論文之間出版的時滯，並比較原始會議論文與延伸版本的作者人數、延伸書目對強度、篇幅、圖表之差異，呈現資管領域延伸出版的狀態。希望能提供資管領域的作者、期刊編輯與審查者、讀者，在發表研究、審查文章、閱讀及檢索文獻時的參考依據，並增強對資管領域學術出版型態的瞭解。
In recent years, some scholarly journals have indicated that they accept rewritten or extended
version of a conference paper as long as new content are added to the journal article manuscript
and that the original conference paper is included in the references. The extended publishing of
conference papers now becomes topic worthy of investigation. This study analyzed the extended
works of the conference papers from three major conferences in the fields of information management,
i.e., Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)’s ACM Conference on Electronic Commerce
(ACM EC), ACM Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (ACM KDD), and ACM
International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (ACM CIKM). Papers from
the 2011 meetings were used as the sample to understand to what extent conference papers have been
extended into journal articles and other forms and the lag between conference and journal publishing.
It also examined the differences between the conference papers and their extended versions (i.e.,
journal papers) by comparing the changes in authorship, references, article length, tables, and figures.
It reveals the current practices of extending conference papers for journal publishing in the information
management fields and may help us understand the contemporary scholarly publishing behavior.
