---
They invite you join them in conducting the Obscure Journal Survey.

This is a joint research project of the Annals of Improbable
Research (AIR) and the Times Higher Education Supplement (THES).
The project seeks mercilessly to answer a question posed by Steve
Farrar of THES:

\"Which is the least-read academic journal?\"

The question may be more subtle than it appears. Yet we are
determined to find the one and true answer.

If you think you know which journal is the least read, please send
the journal name to:

OBSCURE JOURNAL SURVEY c/o marca@chem2.harvard.edu

Please include PITHY, persuasive evidence. If the journal has a
web site, please include its URL.

A website for the LSTA grant project, funded by the Illinois State Library, a division of the Office of the Secretary of State, has been launched at pdagrant.osfsaintfrancis.org. The website contains information about the project and links to resources on handheld computing for librarians and medical students, residents, physicians, nurses, and other personnel. -- Read More
