Geography journals

[Ted Bergstrom <tedb@econ.ucsb.edu>]

Geography Professor, Nick Blomley, wrote an editorial called "Is 
this Journal worth US$1118"  in a recent issue of Geoforum, an 
Elsevier journal.  Blomley presented data comparing prices and 
citations for a number of geography journals.  Blomley's article 
inspired an Elsevier spokesperson, Chris Pringle, to write a 
rejoinder titled "Price and Value:  A Publisher's Perspective"

Links to both of these, along with a brief response to Mr. 
Pringle's rejoider can be found at:
