There are exactly 300 responses to date, but all written comments are being captured. In the survey, you can optionally insert your email address to receive a holiday present—a copy of the spreadsheet with IP addresses and emails omitted but comments intact. Sometimes one terrific comment in a sea of responses can really influence a community.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Also please note that since my original request (reproduced below) I have been invited to collaborate on a study that might use these results. So the goal is no longer only to provide some interesting material for my panel presentation at ICIS. Note that if you missed this the first time, the survey does not ask you to rate or rank the journals themselves.
