"Scholarly Profit Margins and the Legal Scholarship Network"

Lawrence Cunningham (Professor of Law at
Boston College) has published Scholarly Profit
Margins and the Legal Scholarship Network:
Reflections on the Web.

According to the abstract of the article at SSRN,

"...Legal researchers use various methodologies

to assess scholarly production and impact but

all suffer from inherent limitations and none

provides data useful to scholarly self-reflection.

The 10-year old Legal Scholarship Network

(LSN) offers potential to improve considerably

on both scores of public and personal assessment.

This Essay critically evaluates approaches to

conceptualizing scholarly profit margins, explores

how LSN can enhance these conceptions, and opens

new frontiers for this innovative Web-based

repository of legal writing."
