Last year was as busy as ever for JAAS and we’d like to say thank you to all our authors and referees for helping us a achieve a successful 2010! We’re delighted with all the articles we published, but we were curious to find out what people were reading.
So here are a handful of the most popular articles of 2010 – all of them are free to access until the end of April. Why do you think these particular papers were so well-read? Let us know by posting your comments below.
