Brian (and all),
Just addressing one of many points in your email: non-peer-reviewed papers. I get a lot of invitations to submit manuscripts to journals I never heard of. They tend to be run by Indians (south Asians) or Chinese. While some of these may be peer-reviewed, I suspect that there is a lot of stuff published in these journals that would not be published elsewhere.
On the other hand, some professors where I work have a dim view of the long-established Journal Tectonophysics. While there may be some papers published that are not too high-quality, I, and Island wife, like the journal, and I published in there in 2012. It may be more widely-read in Europe that Geological Society of America (GSA) publications. And, it has a higher "impact factor" than Geosphere, the GSA online journal. The manuscript I have been working on is going to Geosphere.
