Re: Question on journal use

[David Goodman <dgoodman@Princeton.EDU>]

Dear Julie,

Even if publishers are Counter-compliant, it is _not_ yet 
possible to compare publishers!

See Philip M Davis's article, at: 
http://arxiv.org/pdf/cs.IR/0602060

At the moment, the "comparable" part of the Counter motto is a 
goal still to be acheived.
