From: Gail Clement <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2013 13:24:06 +0000 Hello colleagues, As a member of the Publications Committee for a major scientific society and publisher, I've become aware that publishers (or at least this Society) actually send out author satisfaction surveys and collect --at the level of each and every journal title -- substantial and detailed data on the author's perceived publishing experiences. Perhaps some collective movement to urge publishers to share this data openly would be a welcome development? Gail P.
