Some Suggestions for LPP Chief Editors
1. Our new publication pattern of adding articles as and when they are accepted has to be reconsidered. A "journal" means it should have a publication period, otherwise it will be an online archive. My suggestion is that we should have 2 or more issues per year.
2. We should request LISA and leading A&I services to cover LPP. Now we have only ISA.
Thanks,
Vijayakumar

Your comments about the new publication pattern are interesting. Many universities are now creating institutional repositories, and a number of peer-reviewed electronic journals are appearing in those repositories. The publication pattern for many of those journals is the continuously-published yearly volume. For example, in the University of Nebraska--Lincoln Digital Commons, there is a journal called RURALS: Review of Undergraduate Research in Agricultural and Life Sciences
(http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/rurals/).
Their publication pattern is: "Articles are instantly issued upon acceptance. The most recent are listed below. The current volume is Volume 1."
It's true that a periodical is a serial that has at least two issues per year, but I think LPP would still be a periodical and a journal with the new publication pattern.
An alternative would be to publish new papers once a month, i.e., become a monthly journal. I think we would publish 2 or 3 new articles each month.
I agree about seeking new indexing venues as well.
Thanks Mary for agreeing for more indexing. I agree to you for monthly pattern, and the a Final annual volume.Great.
