Dear All - I am writing an editorial for a journal, and I'd like to make
a comment about the trend in the number of biology/ecology journals over
say the past 20-30 years. I've heard from some people that the number
has actually gone down (consolidation, extinction, etc.), but my
suspicion is that the number has gone up dramatically. However, I can't
find a good source for these data, if they exist.
Does anyone know of any article or data on the speciation of
journals in recent decades? And in particular, biology/ecology oriented
journals (not medical).
Thanks!
Howie Neufeld
