DBLP FAQ: Why doesn't DBLP list the journal/conference ... ?

First answer:

Nobody has entered the information yet. To enter bibliographies is a time consuming work, our resources are very limited.

Second answer:

We have no access to the publication or a reliable source we are allowed to use.

You may help us:

You may enter the table of contents of your favourite proceedings or journal volume. If you are the editor or publisher of a journal or proceedings, you often have the information already stored on your computer. Please

• Include the bibliographic information of the volume as complete as possible (editors, title, publisher, year, isbn, ...).
• For each article list the authors, title and range of page numbers.
• Include headings / session titles from the table of contents if applicable - they make tables of contents more readable.
• Write out the given names of persons if possible. It is sometimes very hard to identify persons by their initials and last names only. The DBLP author pages only make sense if we try to be as precise as possible with person names.

If possible, please use the DBLP input format. Additionally it may be very helpful for us to get get the frontmatter (title pages & table of contents) - the preferred format for this is PDF.

Please contact me in advance if you plan to enter large amounts of information. This may help to avoid duplicate work. We have scripts to extract information from the web sites of several large publishers (e.g. IEEE, ACM, ...). Unfortunately publishers often change the formats and layout details of their servers, this sometimes makes our scripts very ephemeral.
