ACKERMAN" To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Re: Electronic journals and acceptance X-Listserver-Version: 6.0 -- UNIX ListServer by Anastasios Kotsikonas X-Comment: WORLD SYSTEMS NETWORK Tom Hall raises some good points. Perhaps the fastest way to gain "respectability" (if such *really* exists ), is for initial contributions to include sizable numbers of papers from tenured, accepted authors. I can think of several journals in my primary field (management) which have gained stature simply because the early issues included a healthy number of articles by folks who were known. Otherwise, I'm in favor of electronic journals. Oh yes, for those wonder what a management type is doing hanging out on wsn, some of us have enough sense to recognize that international/transnational strategy exists only in a broader context of history/economics/world systems and that attempts to study organizations in isolation is not very productive. Trust that you don't mind a "seeker of knowledge" crossing over disciplinary lines.... Dave Ackerman ackermdj@msuvx1.memst.edu
