About

apv gets the publication venues of where an ACM author has published from their public ACM DL publications page.

I wrote this utility in order to help Ph.D. students identify which venue(s) their mentors, advisors, and colleagues publish in (so long as their tracked by ACM). The goal for this is not to track publications per say, but to identify the set of venues that a user may want to read more about or submit a manuscript to.
