[JoPP-Public] Future of Journal of Peer Production

Sat Sep 30 09:44:24 CEST 2017

hi,

I think that archiving and good Google Scholar exposure should be a
priority. It could be useful also to think of a plan to get recognition on
the recommended journals lists - such as the ABE, and eventually aim for
the JCR (possible, with proper planning).

In Poland, pretty much as in many other countries now, we have an acute
case of *pointitis, *that is focusing only on bibliometric measures, impact
factor, points, and lists. As such, anything I publish outside of the
glorified JCR list is not recognized as academic production for my
university (well, a book with a prestigious publisher will not be frowned
upon... yet).

Perhaps less is more? I think it could make perfect sense to have fewer
issues by design. Also, partnering with some conference (or starting one
up) is often a useful strategy for getting more submissions.

Regarding a transfer to a publisher - we could pitch to EBSCO or Emerald,
but this would mean losing the open access or paying them North of 15k USD
per year, at the very least.

just my two cents...

best,

dj
