Another journal devoted to moral, political, and legal philosophy!

Well, in fact, this one is importantly different:  it’s an on-line journal, modelled, it appears, on the apparently successful Philosophers’ Imprint (which mostly, but not exclusivley, publishes work in metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of language, and philosophy of mind), and it has all the requisites for success going out the door, namely, a highly competent and distinguished group of editors (including two colleagues, one [I hope] future colleague, and the veterans of BEARS), and institutional backing from USC. 

The real test for any of these on-line journals will be the extent to which the articles they publish show up in references in the other journal literature.  The verdict there is still out, I fear, though Philosophers’ Imprint seems to have fared decently on that count, but this is based on anecdotal, not systematic, evidence.  And perhaps the better test will be whether articles by very junior or heretofore "unknown" philosophers make it in to the literature after appearing in these on-line journals.
