For schools, there was no national curriculum, no parental choice, no systematic means of monitoring performance, no publication of examination results beyond what schools themselves chose to reveal.
In this context, various rankings weight publication indicators relatively highly, but ignore the impact of publication performance.
Through the creation of a research profile of publication performance and impact across journal fields [21] we sought to identify specific fields in which publications from the networks were exhibiting the greatest performance and impact in the relevant scientific literature.
On the surface, the reason for the strong performance of female-oriented publications on the Nook is relatively straightforward.
Future Publishing has reported a £300,000 loss and 11% slump in revenues in the six months to the end of March, in part due to the sluggish performance of its games publications as the market awaits new consoles from Microsoft and Sony.
