When I was asked earlier this year to write a short survey on \( k \)-best enumeration algorithms for the Springer Encyclopedia of Algorithms, I wrote a first draft before checking the formatting requirements. It ended up being approximately five pages of text and seven more pages of references, and I knew I would have to cut some of that. But then I did check the format, and saw that it needed to be much shorter, approximately two pages of text and a dozen references. I don't regret doing it this way; I think having a longer version to cut down helped me to organize the results and figure out which parts were important. But then I thought: why not make the long(er) version available too? I added a few more references, so now it's about six pages of text and ten of references, still closer to an annotated bibliography than an in-depth survey. Here it is: arXiv:1412.5075.
