Klaus,
There is no intention that this list is "scientist-only". It may be that
most of the contributors are scientists but that's not intended. The
argument is sometimes made (like Harnad does) that STM is too difficult for
anyone outside universities - I have to challenge this.

I would have thought it was even easier to make the cases that papers in
A+H had wide potential appeal.
