Re: using openness as a tool for opacity

Who's Afraid of Peer Review?
http://www.sciencemag.org/content/342/6154/60.full

The most basic obligation of a scientific journal is to perform peer review, arXiv founder Ginsparg 
says. He laments that a large proportion of open-access scientific publishers "clearly are not 
doing that." Ensuring that journals honor their obligation is a challenge that the scientific 
community must rise to. "Journals without quality control are destructive, especially for 
developing world countries where governments and universities are filling up with people with bogus 
scientific credentials," Ginsparg says.
