There is much dissatisfaction with the current state of research publication, but little information on community attitudes and priorities. I have started a survey which I hope you will fill in (I estimate 10-15 minutes, and it is completely anonymous). The results will be made publicly available later this year. I hope that it will help to focus our efforts as a community by allowing us to work toward broadly agreed goals. I want to get as representative and as large a sample of the world mathematical community as possible. Please forward to your local colleagues.
Please answer this survey if and only if you have been involved with a mathematical journal as editor, reviewer/referee, author or reader in the last 3 years. By "mathematical" we also mean to include theoretical computer science journals and disciplinary journals used by applied mathematicians. Essentially, any journal covered by Mathematical Reviews qualifies.
