Subject: Your 500 refereed articles
Dear Prof. Block
Your blog post on LRC (https://www.lewrockwell.com/lrc-blog/deal-referees-editors-scholarly-journals/) so inspired me (I’m crunching through my dissertation in a completely different field) that I did a data visualization of all of your articles with the ability to link off to the actual article if a URL was available. It took me a few hours to get the data ready cleaned up to where I could process it. I think the most difficult part was I had to manually edit the citations to eliminate the multiple URLs. In choosing which URL, I linked to your blog/website if available, then to miss.org, then to cite sites and finally to the journal cite. I made these determinations to 1) drive traffic to you or libertarian sites first and 2) because these generally had the whole article available at no cost (unlike many of the journal sites). BTW, what style of citation are you using. It did not look like Chicago, MLA or APA, so I couldn’t use some of the automatic parsers out there to separate the different fields. You can access the visualization here: https://public.tableau.com/profile/df.tableaupub#!/vizhome/ProfessorBlockRefereedArticleProduction/ProfessorWalterBlockLoyolaNewOrleansRefereedArticleProduction. Feel free to link to it, blog it or ignore it. If you do choose to share it in some way, also feel free to use my name if you’d like. In liberty, David
Dear David: I am very grateful to you. Thanks. I have no typical format style. I just write and write and write.
