A Little Help and Discussion......


Over on another blog, in response to a list of journals in various fields by the AHRC, an early medievalist commented about not knowing where to publish: "EME (Early Medieval Europe)" was given an "A", but all else was "B" or less in that author's estimation.

As anyone reading this blog knows, it is attached and part of The Heroic Age journal. Our desire is not to "B" or less. So I'd like to open a discussion of what makes a journal an "A". Board members and readers? Quality articles? Publishing in Paper? Institutional support? How can we make HA a better journal for the early medieval community to publish in?
