I am to say the least horrified by this list, not only on account of its
utterly cranky rankings, but more importantly the bureaucratic stupidity
that underlies this sort of effort. Presumably, if the ranking comes into
effect, a great paper published in the Scottish Geographical Journal will
have no value compared to some crappy piece in the Annals of the
Association of American Geographers. What kind of Kafkaesque nightmare is
this? Can't people read? Allen Scott.
