PoS, self-published, no review?

Where did you get that information? [1] As far as a I can tell, every proceedings' peer review is up to the conference chairs. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 00:28, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

@Headbomb: I don't recall exactly what I was doing 16 months ago... 'Self-published' means that SISSA publishes it themselves, they don't contract a commercial publisher - contrasting with the journals also listed there. Perhaps that could be phrased better.

As for not reviewed, Proceedings of Science is a series of conference proceedings, not a journal. In most fields of science (exceptions include computer science and some areas of engineering), conference proceedings are not peer-reviewed. They undergo a quick check by a guest editor (usually one of the conference organisers) to ensure they're in the right format and aren't obviously crazy, but that's it. They're not sent to referees, there are no reports to guide substantial revisions etc. The purpose is to record what was presented at the meeting, not serve as formal publication of the work - it's a form of grey literature. I understand the PoS 'about' page [2] as saying that PoS does not provide peer review, so if editors want it they'll have to do it themselves. Most don't, except in the fields mentioned above.

I've tweaked the wording to 'published in-house' and added website references for each entry. Modest Genius ^talk 17:39, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
