Just to address these points, copied below is a list of authors of papers in
Palaeontologia Electronica (from the journal's online indexes). Whatever
branch of palaeontology you are into, scanning through this list you will
quickly come across the names of people who are leaders in their field, not
simply established researchers.
ISI accreditation takes a few years for a journal to obtain, but if that is
something that concerns you, bear in mind this hypothetical scenario: you
publish today in a journal that does not yet have accreditation; a year or
two down the line it is accredited. To all intents and purposes, when it
comes to a future assessment of your publication, its in an ISI journal.
And compare the time between submission and publication of papers in
Palaeontologia Electronica (4-8 months for the last issue for example), with
that of a typical paper based journal. Food for thought.
