Why is it important?

It provides a snapshot of changing attitudes and summarises the key issues being debated within the scholarly publishing industry.

Perspectives

This was a fascinating exercise - to review articles published by the journal during the last 30 years and to see how attitudes have changed, what has stayed the same, and how authors have perceived changes and strategies in scholarly publishing. I hope it will make readers think about the subjects and incorporate these considered research and opinion perspectives into their own publishing strategies.
