A minor point but the pedant in me requires that I note it. I would think that the journal Annette means to warn against is Psychological _Reports_. Record, reports, what's the difference, but I think in this case there is one. I believe _Record_ tends to publish articles which favour a behaviourist orientation, and probably does not have page charges (couldn't find any mention on their web page, which, as I think Annette pointed out, isn't a guarantee). I also think its reputation is secure. But _Reports_, which, as its name indicates, publishes a large number of short reports of an, um, eclectic nature, does have page charges. Some, perhaps unfairly, have questioned the rigour of its review process. Stephen ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen L.
