Hi Terry
Thanks for keeping this topic alive. As Ken, Deirdre and I (and others)
work towards generating articles from the first survey (n=300) and start
considering how we will develop from here a number of questions have
arisen. (note thee are methodological limitatiosn to our initial survey
and a more developed account including some form of citation impact and
expert panel analysis would begin to reflect the methods used in the
field). One of my current tasks is to survey the literature on these
issues to ensure that the paper(s) are adequately developed. One of the
questions you allude to: the quality of open access journals. Here's a
quick cut and paste from Google (I'm working at home) of the
(significant, i.e. read the citation count) articles I am reviewing
which address this among the many other questions provoked by the ERA
exercise (and which themselves suggest further questions)
