Abstract

Academic publishing is in an interesting transition. The number of scholarly journals seems to double every five years, as new titles vie with established ones for the attention of authors (if not actual readers). Information and communication technologies have vastly reduced the cost of getting articles into the hands of scholars, including via non-refereed repositories such as SSRN.com. Established status hierarchies among journals can seem increasingly unstable and arbitrary, while alternative measures of “impact” proliferate. What’s an editor to do?
