Sound, as well as the visual, is a rich domain to be explored. And regarding Megan's point, I agree that the incentives are stacked against traditional publication. But I've started thinking of these multimedia endeavors as tactical interventions to be weilded in concert with, not instead of, journal articles.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08492807162664423251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1030220433025894048.post-14275718244918345832011-08-22T15:13:31.069-04:002011-08-22T15:13:31.069-04:00Agreed: there's no reason why it *should* be t...Agreed: there's no reason why it *should* be the case, but the incentives are definitely stacked against those of us who would like to do more of this sort of thing.
