I agree Mr Ford that we need more dinosaur
publications
Why not make JVP a monthly then? Are they so strapped
for cash that they cannot print it monthly?
Oh my goodness, YES!!!
I'm guessing that most of the folks on this list have no real feel for
how
"on the edge" most scientific societies are in trying to do the work
they do
(such as publish quality work, help fund research, etc.). Perhaps if
the
Society were to double its fees (and, magically, not lose a substantial
number of members) it could publishe more often.
Would web-based publication help ease the situation? Most journals are
printed AND published online - surely an expensive way to go. Maybe a
few web-only journals could be the solution (and cheapish?).
As for a new dinosaur publication, maybe the DML would be a good place
to start. I mean, many of us seem to have way too much time in our
hands. ;-)
