Thanks for the report on how you found this tool; please do email Bernie Rous at the ACM about it (rous (at) acm.org) and let him know your opinions. Right, I wasn’t suggesting the ACM link to Ke-Sen’s pages, but rather that all the preprint page links Ke-Sen has collected be made default Author-Izer links for those papers. Like I say, I can imagine many reasons given for not doing this, but in my perfect world these would be put into place en masse, vs. hoping all individual authors do it themselves.

ACM Author-izer is indeed a great tool (I experimented with it on my publications here: http://maverick.inria.fr/Members/Nicolas.Holzschuch/PublicationsACM.html )

But there is currently a weakness: you can only author-ize an ACM link from a single web page. So I can give access from my personal web page, or from my institution page. But not from both (when you’re clicking on the link to ACM DL, they check that you clicked on a link that is indeed on the authorized web page). So you can’t duplicate the links, or anything. By the way, it also means that author-izing won’t work if the browser is in private mode.

This is (currently) the main technical issue that makes it impossible to use it on Ke-Sen pages.

I also believe it’s a great tool, and I appreciate what ACM did here. But I’d like to be able to authorize more than one page. And I’d like a method for automatic generation of author-izer links. Right now, I have to author-ize each paper one by one and copy the link in the right place. Which means the page with author-izer is currently trailing by one or two publications on the automatically generated page.
