Thank you. Submitting the same work elsewhere creates professional conduct (or sometimes, plagiarism) issues. I prefer not to create another problem for myself. I contacted the WORLDCOMP chairman asking him to take back my copyright agreement with that conference but he is not responding. It looks there are many students are facing problems due to WORLDCOMP, see http://www.bioinformatics.org/pipermail/bbb/2013-February/005254.html

I am graduating from one of the top schools in Korea and applying for Ph.D. in MIT/Stanford/Yale. Publications at Masters degree are vital to get admission/assistantship at Ph.D. in these schools. My publication in WORLDCOMP https://sites.google.com/site/worlddump1 is very good but the conference’s worst reputation is spoiling my chances. I made a terrible mistake by choosing WORLDCOMP. See http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.corpora/17587 for more information. Can I resubmit this paper to another conference/journal?

I have a paper in WORLDCOMP and recently I learned new information about it at http://sites.google.com/site/worlddump1 The organizer of this conference used University of Georgia affiliation with his name and I thought it is good. I am finishing my masters degree and wish to do a Ph.D. Few schools rejected my application stating that my publication is in a junk conference. What happens to my career?
