[FRIAM] Accountability: a rare courage!

2009-01-28 Thread Peter Lissaman
The idea is that a published paper should be preceded by the names of the
reviewers for and agin said work.  That terrifies the profs!  Still throws
no light on the naysayers if a paper is rejected!

Hi,

The best method is to allow for a collective footprint to determine the
value of an article. Igor is good with grammar, Constantine is good with
figure clarity, Bramblebush is good with literature reviews, Thor is good
with experimental design, The Ice Man is all about the methodology, etc.
etc.

It is naive to think there is such thing as an expert reviewer.
Reviewers are good and this and that and whatever -- pigeonholed
perspectives... The combination of all these inputs is the expert
review. In a collective model, the whole group is accountable.

See ya,
Marko.

 If homeostasis is the problem, this would seem to increase
 conservativism.  Reviewers would not want their names attached to
 papers that might turn out to be wrong (perhaps embarrassingly so.)
