This decision carries consequences. Unfortunately, some institutions and departments use inclusion of a journal in Scopus or Web of Science as a filter when appraising candidates in hiring, promotion, salary review, and tenure processes. Thus, knowing that JOSS is not indexed in Scopus or Web of Science might deter some researchers from publishing in it, as they may be disadvantaged by doing so. I suspect Elsevier and Clarivate to take advantage of this fact, as the exclusion of a journal from Scopus/Web of Science can act as a means of suppressing competition, thus hindering innovation.

Comment once a day on a “top blog” – you can’t imagine how powerful it is to comment frequently on blogs. Ask Jerby on another blog , he knows more about this than I do. In the world of blogging, it’s all about creating a powerful network of contacts. It’s a world where favors make all the difference. It doesn’t cost me anything to mention someone on this blog, but I don’t do it for just anyone. Leaving a mark on a blogger’s blog is the easiest way to find a little space in their little heart (yes, I almost started crying too).
