Re: Linking publication with career

["Anthony Watkinson" <anthony.watkinson@btopenworld.com>]

Journals can flourish (attract top authors) in spite of the publisher but
in general the publisher can help the editors and editorial boards a great
deal. Journals that come out late (production problems), have big backlogs
(publisher policies about adding pages), slow refereeing (publishers do
not provide appropriate software), poor copyediting, poor colour (or high
charges etc etc. are not likely to become or remain the journal of choice.
