Another slam at peer review (Introduction)
This article by David Colquhoun (and another by George Monbiot) have stirred up quite a storm about peer review and the academic journal business in The Guardian. The extensive comments are as good as the article.-http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2011/sep/05/publish-perish-peer-review-science-Since I used to earn my living by doing proof-reading for scientific journals I have some familiarity with the academic publishing business. During the time I was working all the smaller companies were gradually eaten up by the big corporations, such as Elsevier.-Colquhoun is a campaigner against homeopathy, acupuncture and other alternative medical treatments that have no adequate evidential backing.
