INFO: Second request for JG:PS survey

My thanks to those of you who have completed the survey already, THANK YOU!

If you have not done so, PLEASE take a few minutes to do it now. We will be using the results to guide the journal over the next few years and would like to have as much input as possible.

The request details:

For the past few years, the Editorial Board of JG:PS and the publisher Oxford University Press have been exploring ways to increase the impact factor of the journal. We've made a lot of progress with OUP's help in straigtening out some technical issues about the way articles in the journal get cited.

We have come up with a variety of speculations about issues that might affect potential authors' choice to submit their best work to JG:PS. I am now coming to you with a survey (link at the end of this note) to help us get a sense of what your perceptions are of the journal and factors that affect your decision to submit to JG:PS or send papers elsewhere.

Pleaseake a few minutes to fill out the JG:PS survey. Your answers are anonymous. I'll only see the responses without any identifying information such as e-mail addresses. You may get requests from other lists that we're on, please respond once.

Thank you!
