use the reference if they feel they have easy access to it. So, I’d go

in a journal that features in ISI or Scopus, as it is then used for all types
of metrics (whether you like this or not). From my own experience, I’ve
noticed that it is not so easy, however, to get manuscripts on corpora (or word
frequency lists) published, even though they are well cited. Does anyone have a
list of ISI journals that publish information on corpora? Thus far I have
published most of my findings in Behavior Research Methods, but this is aimed
at a psychological audience (and hence will only accept papers that are interesting
for them).</span><o:p></o:p></p>

This question is timely in the UK where we are preparing for REF.<br>
Whatever Corpus Linguists may think, the wider academic world expects<br>
citations of published journal/conference papers or books. So, when a<br>
corpus is created, the developers should also publish a paper or book on the
research undertaken to develop the corpus, and this is what you<br>
should cite. Even if you don't directly quote from the paper, you are<br>
citing the academic research idea embodied in the paper. Sometimes a corpus
project can lead to several publications.<br>
It is good practice for creators of a corpus to nominate a specific paper<br>
whcih should be cited by users of the corpus, e.g. on the website where<br>
you get the corpus from. This helps people like you who want to know<br>
what to cite; and it helps the corpus creators to accumulate due credit for
their work. For example for REF, we nominate up to 4 key papers for<br>
assessment, so it helps if others cite these specific 4 papers.<br>
