I've been meaning to add to this discussion of journals but haven't had time. However, this is a small piece of the overall thread that I can quickly respond to. Jeremy is correct that AoIR did not publish the research annual (but he's not correct insofar as it's Peter Lang Publishing that's the publisher and not "Steve's Publisher" :-)). It was, as usual with all things AoIR, volunteer work that made it happen, and it was primarily Mia Consalvo who volunteered. Without here there would not have been an annual, just as there would not have been one without the program chairs who served as editors, nor without the contributors. It's also correct that the last research annual will be the last one published by Peter Lang. Sales were abysmal, and while I don't have the figures in front of me, they were in the neighborhood of fewer than 100 sold of each. Sj On Apr 26, 2007, at 8:00 AM, Jeremy Hunsinger wrote:
that is published by a Steve's Publisher in collaboration, AoIR doesn't have any issn's or isbn's assigned which would indicate that it is a publisher. it might seem a technical detail, but publishing is different, perhaps only in my mind, than having a contract with a publisher. which btw expired didn't it? the last annual was the last one...?

Unless you count the Internet Research Annual, which presumably publishes the best of the papers from each conference -- or at least a representative sample thereof. -- Mark D.
