What Makes a Publisher Important?
What Makes a Publisher Important?
I like the direction this article heads, but I'm not so sure publishers will, if they follow its implications to their logical conclusion. The article proposes, in brief, that an article may be measured for importance by "the relative number of citations of a search engine as the evaluation criteria."
