It's radical enough to be open access, let alone open peer review. Let's change one convention at a time.<br /><br />Once people realize that the open access movement doesn't mean the end of scientific publication as we know it, then the time will be riper to start questioning whether the current model of closed anonymous peer review is as wonderful as we often like to say it is when we defend the rigor of science over pseudoscience to the publicJonathan Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04921990886076027719noreply@blogger.com
