Journals Survey

The journal survey is in the book. I’ve put the bulk of the data on the original survey page, but here’s some of the headline data. There were 175 votes – 181 submissions but 6 of these were ‘fill-ins’, people submitting votes for journals I added late or that they missed. Here’s the demographic data on the survey partipants.

The demographic data probably give us a good guide to who’s reading this page, and are also important for interpreting the data.

UPDATE: I’ve posted the raw vote data for anyone who wants to do their own analysis. Note that each column is a vote. For some reason the table looks much better in IE than in Firebird, because of the odd way Firebird treats empty table cells.
