First, one more addition to the list: Film Quarterly. Aside from its long tradition of excellence and solid peer review, I admire FQ's ability to engage ANY lover of film while adhering to the highest standards of the discipline. Second, Jeremy's question on online journals. If you haven't seen Screening the Past, give it a try. It's impressive and "hefty" in its own way. Aside from original writing of one sort or another, they are also taking advantage of the economic edge of online publishing to reprint important writings with scholarly introductions/annotations, as well as translations. These are two precious kinds of publishing that print journals rarely if ever feel they can afford to try (I'd like to hear their justifications for avoiding it!) As for the tenure question, I have a some sense for this at the University of Michigan. At the level of daily life and the chaos of rhetoric on campus, there is a lot of talk about supporting faculty's efforts at using digital technologies for pedagogy and research. At this school, it's actually backed up by ready money. I've regularly received financial support for such experiments. There's also talk about how the faculty is supposedly smart enough to critique and judge any piece of research, no matter where it's published. However, in reality I think it's safe to say the basics have to be covered in the traditional manner (peer reviewed print journals and a monograph from a decent university publisher). Once this reality is dispensed with, online publishing is nice icing for the cake. It provides fodder for the tenure case...innovative approaches to research, experimenting with technologies that are certainly in our collective future, etc. etc. I think in my own recent case, straightforward, linear writing published online did not count for much. However, the attempts at hypertext and other kinds of research and pedagogy that try things impossible on paper media were embraced....but only because the usual bases were covered. As long as journals like Screening the Past keep up the peer review, they will be well-positioned to unproblematically count for tenure when 1) economies of scale make paper publishing prohibitively expensive, 2) academic culture in the humanities gets used to the idea, 3) online library subscriptions become the norm, as they swiftly are, 4) it starts becoming competitive to get accepted, 5) etc. etc. etc. I'd be interested in hearing other people's experiences.
