Perhaps we should be thinking of a different type of model to encourage and publish research on records management.  Publications like the Sloan Management Review (http://sloanreview.mit.edu/about/)  or the Harvard Business Review (http://harvardbusiness.org/guidelines-for-authors-hbr) are not strictly speaking peer reviewed publications but they do publish research or at least research "lite".  Many of the authors who publish in such publications also have articles in peer reviewed journals.

One of the issues that I have not seen addressed in this interesting debate is how do you go about addressing the boundaries of records management.  What would be the scope of such a publication?  Would it include legal questions surrounding the authentication of evidence?
Would it include library issues relating to the digital preservation of information resources?  How about archival issues, deployment of information technology, linguistic theory, human/computer interface?  Any publication will  have the practical problem of defining the scope of articles that it intends to publish.
