Significance of true electronic journals?

[Walt Crawford]

For my next book (and possibly for an article before that), I'm looking at the
track record of "true electronic journals''--that is, free Internet-available
publications that describe themselves as journals containing peer-reviewed
articles. Specifically, I'm looking at journals included in the 1995 ARL
directory of electronic journals, newsletters, etc..

If you--or someone at your institution--is in a position to gauge the
significance of journals within their field, you (they) could help out by
responding to a questionnaire, basically rating journals in terms of their
significance within their field (on a scale of 1 to 10). Because it's a fairly
long list (several dozen titles) and probably irrelevant to 90% of Web4Lib
subscribers, I've posted the questionnaire on my own Web site:

So far, this request has only been posted on Web4Lib. If you know of another
list that would be appropriate, please feel free to forward this message, or
send me a note suggesting the list (if it's open for outside posting).

Thanks!
Walt Crawford, RLG (but doing this research on my own time, as usual)
