True to his moniker, the Open Source Paleontologist (aka Andry Farke) often blogs about open access paleo journals. There are a lot out there, but which are the best ones to publish in? How do lesser-known publications like Geodiversitas rank among heavy hitters like PNAS or PLoS? Now you have a chance to have your say. Andy has created a survey asking you to rank the quality of the present span of open access journals that regularly publish paleontology papers. Voting will be open until Friday and the results will be revealed shortly afterward. Go vote!
