If the journal is a journal of opinion (which I am taking to mean not peer-reviewed), and Professor Hausfleish's work is based on such work, he will fail to get tenure at most Universities and quickly find himself out of a job, which generally brings to a close one's research career as well. Which is to say, largely a non-issue. I mean, we should not deal heavily in un-peer reviewed work from scholars who have not built a reputation for peer-reviewed work. That's true. But that is not, generally speaking, the bulk of what we'd be looking at if we were looking at journal articles. However peer reviewed work is, by its nature, not simply opinion. -Phil _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
