AuseAccess claims …
There is now considerable evidence that making a refereed publication openly accessible on the Internet (whether on a personal website (or blog – emphasis mine), an institutional website or an OAI-compliant institutional repository) increases the research impact of the publication.

Dermatology Online Journal
Credibility is earned by consistent performance and quality of peer reviewed articles; no journal that is exclusively online has existed long enough to earn that.

Harley et al. (2007)
Perceptions of electronic-only publications are frequently negative because those venues are considered to lack strong peer review and are, consequently, believed to be of relatively lower quality.

Harley et al. (2007)
Too much reliance on informal “publishing” such as blogs, at the expense of publishing in more traditional outlets, can have a negative effect on tenure and promotion in some fields.

Harley et al. (2007)
Others expressed fear that scholarly work placed in open-access media could be “stolen.”
Many faculty utilize scholarly material through new modes of communication and publication, but for the last stage of scholarly practice … they relied on traditional publishing formats.
