Comments on: Code4Lib: More than a journal http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/71 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 20:27:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Eric Lease Morgan http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/71#comment-97 Eric Lease Morgan Wed, 02 Apr 2008 15:37:52 +0000 http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/71#comment-97 Adam, the editors discussed the pros and cons of publishing the journal in issues vs the continuous release model. The latter model is, in some ways, easier from the editor's point of view. But, we came to agree that publishing issues seemed like the better choice for our particular group dynamic. We also thought that many of our readers still favored discrete issues and a predictable publication schedule. If, in the future, we get more article submissions than we feel we can deal with using this model, we may change our mind rather than adopting a more frequent publication schedule. Nothing is irrevocably set. --ELM Adam, the editors discussed the pros and cons of publishing the journal in issues vs the continuous release model.

I wonder, though, does batching these articles up into an issue really add any value? Why not release the articles through the RSS feed as soon as they make it to the end of the editorial process? I would rather read one here and one there over the course of few weeks. Thank you for putting out a fine issue, Eric.

Great introduction to the issue and the community, Eric! I won’t say the karma system is rigged, but that I am currently atop the pile exposes deep and fundamental flaws in it.

Great introduction to the issue and the community, Eric!
