<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Very interesting Anna. I wonder how effective the N American council is? I should look into it. But no, I’m certainly not aware of anything like that here. The only context in which we on Continuum get to meet other editors is in the annual Taylor and Francis journal editor’s roundtables. It’s always useful to compare notes with others and the T&F people are often quite interesting in their perspectives on the business, but it’s limited to T&F journals and certainly doesn’t have the sort of agenda we’re talking about.<BR>

North America has a Council of Editors of Learned Journals (<a href="http://thecelj.blogspot.com/">http://thecelj.blogspot.com/</a>), does Australia have such a body? If not, can one be formed to make representations as those outlined by both Jon and Mark?<BR>
