I would thoroughly recommend this even at Beta stage. What I, as an
independent academic journal publisher, like about it is that, wihtout
having to be asked or to be paid, they have indexed Surveillance &
Society and (so far as I can see) most other significant free-to-access
independent academic journals. Looks like a great step forward for all
of us.
