Editorial: Journals Under Threat

The European Reference Index for the Humanities has a plan for grading the premier journals in our discipline.

"This joint Editorial is being published in journals across the fields of history of science and science studies as an expression of our collective dissent and our refusal to allow our field to be managed and appraised in this fashion. We have asked the compilers of the ERIH to remove our journals titles from their lists."

The four page editorial contains a long list (nearly two full pages) of HSTM journals. Worth a look.
