Science of the Invisible: How to fix academic publishing again already

“Last week I was ranting about academic publishing. A paper I submitted to a journal in June was finally reviewed... On 23rd October I was asked to submit a revised manuscript, but because the journal is moving from one publisher to another (you can probably figure out who it is)... The other email was from the manager of our institutional repository, saying: ‘...for the month of October one of your publications archived on the Leicester Research Archive was accessed 373 times. This made it the 2nd most accessed Leicester research publication on the Leicester Research Archive (LRA) last month....’ I really have just about had it with academic publishers... So here's a message to all repository managers: Give me my personal impact data. I need to know how many people are reading what I write and who (i.e. where) they are. That data trumps journal citation factors. Give me that and the repository becomes my first choice publishing destination.”
