Jesse has hit upon a long-term RIM journal problem. There are no peer-reviewed journals because the need for them would have to be established (through the academies having at least an undergraduate degree (like a bacheolors *degree* in records management, not a degree in marketing with a *major* in RIM). After looking at this for 32 years as prof. and now an emeritus prof., I can assure you the academic sustrate has to be in place to justify RM courses, courses, and juried jounals. Won't happen any other way.10 years as executive editor of the IMJ showed that we were not making progress twoard a higher academic level--complete with peer review.
I know the "degrees" in RIM in two-year programs or licensures look attractrive, but they are not 4-year programas with an upward pointer toward graduate work to the PhD level that produces the adequate numbers of researchers and teachers needed.
I feel the commonwealth countries are well ahead of us in forming degree programs; we could learn much from them!
