Hi Stevan Harnad I have a real problem with the current Peer Review System. It is biased towards in-house publications and outsiders are ignored.
I had an idea to set up a new newsgroup titled "Peer Review Sci" I am certain that it would attract many professional contributors, who would normally have been ignored by publishers and therefore provide independent researchers with an unbiased review of their work. It would also be a far better way to make sure that nothing false arrives in print, because it would be an open peer review system and anyone contributing either a paper or a review of a paper would be open to comment from other reviewers. This would generate a tremendous amount of new science and encourage the people with the ideas to come forward. What say ye to this?
