I read James’ newsletter every week and find it an excellent source of information on all things editorial and scientific publishing, with a refreshing editor viewpoint. It is an insightful (and fun!) read, perfect for everyone interested in the scientific publishing world. In a super busy world, flagging the newsletter and making time to read it with a cuppa is a rare oasis in my week that I very much enjoy.

My goal as an editor was always to make people look forward with anticipation to that moment when the next issue would emerge. Congratulations to James Butcher for achieving exactly that, with his ever-timely, ever-insightful and never-dogmatic collating and commenting on research publishing in Journalology.
Philip Campbell (Editor Emeritus, Nature)
This is consistently one of the most interesting newsletters covering the publishing industry — however it should be read by everyone with an interest in the sector. Informed analysis from someone who knows what they are talking about.
Bev Acreman (Executive Director, UKSG)
I’d like to say James saves me a lot of working by doing my reading for me; in reality he provides a wealth of other things I need to read, but they’re never less than invaluable. The pithy commentaries always provide useful insight and perspectives. It’s a must-read for my team.
Ian Potter (Director of Business Intelligence, Frontiers)
Superb topic selection covered with a great understanding and insight, plus it is always lovely to get a sense of James’ opinion on things — insights from such a qualified and seasoned editor are invaluable. It is an absolute necessity for anyone involved in the scholarly publishing industry — informative, thought-provoking and often a bit funny.

I never have to worry about missing an issue of Journalology - because if I don't happen to see it in my inbox, one of my colleagues will invariably forward it to me and say: Did you see this? It's essential reading from one of our community's deepest and most original thinkers.
