hi Ecologgers, About 6 weeks ago, I was invited to write an editorial for Ideas in Ecology and Evolution (IEE). I recalled reading a few articles by Hochberg commenting on the increasing difficulty in securing referees and had seen several new incentive systems. So, I wrote up a piece musing on incentives and the publishing industry, and this lead to the survey I posted on ecolog. I conducted this brief poll only to get a sense if I was out to lunch on the topic.
Here is the editorial summarizing the outcome of the poll (just scroll down a bit on that first page and you will see the current articles). http://library.queensu.ca/ojs/index.php/IEE/index I also just popped up a posting on the Oikos blog to provide an easy and transparent means for you to discuss this or provide me with feedback on these ideas if you are so inclined. http://oikosjournal.wordpress.com/ Please feel free to pop me an email as well, [email protected] cheers, chris.
