We could, but it would not be as effective. Besides we already serve
the profession by educating many of its members. ARMA gets members'
fees to develop the profession and its status as a profession (which
in the eyes of the outside world is linked to a peer-reviewed
journal). We at S. Jose' and UBC would definitely be willing to be in
the editorial board and to referee articles within our competence,
and so would many of our academic colleagues.
I hope you noticed that people from the UK, New Zealand, and
Australia jumped into the discussion and invited us to read and write
in their RM refereed, scholarly, international journals. Our
students read them already and most of the good stuff written by
scholars and professionals is going in there already. As I see it,
soon the US profession, which allegedly invented records management,
will have to subscribe to foreign journals as its only opportunity to
read about leading edge research and new ideas in its own field, and
compete with the rest of the world to get an article published in
them. Any professional or national pride out there? I am not even
American, but as an Emmett Leahy Awardee I feel I have some
responsibility to the American profession and I owe something to the great man.
I will stop here. The ball is in your corner now. I appreciate very
much your patience in listening.
