I'm about to start an update/revision of the "Scientific Publishing in Transition" paper I wrote for ALPSP/STM in 2006, which attempted to provide an overview of journals publishing issues with data taken from published reports etc. Obviously there's been a lot of developments in the last three years. If anyone would like to suggest topics and/or reports etc. that should be covered in the new edition I'd be very grateful for the suggestions. Similarly, any suggested corrections or amendments to the existing text would be welcome. In the interests of open discussion I'm suggesting responses could be posted as comments to my blog entry making the same announcement, thus collecting them together in one place: http://mrkwr.wordpress.com/2009/01/30/updating-scientific-publishing-in-transition/ . But straight responses to the list or private emails to me are equally welcome!
