[GOAL] Re: [SCHOLCOMM] Is this the real future of scholarly communication?

[Sandy Thatcher]

No real surprise here. Senior economists long ago stopped publishing 
in the major journals because of the time lag and just posted their 
papers on their own websites or collectives like SSRN.

And this phenomenon is hardly limited to economics. Blogs by top law 
professors are now widely acknowledged to be the place to look for 
cutting-edge work, not the law journals, which in thids field were 
never peer-reviewed anyway.
