There is an interesting article in The Economist of this week (November 16th-22nd) which raises questions about the scientific peer-review system:
http://www.economist.com/science/displayStory.cfm?story_id=1441745 I am afraid that this article is not "Open Access" but the story and the facts can be found on this (much more specific) page: The Bogdanov Affair, by John Baez http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/bogdanov.html I wonder: is this affair related to the discussion between Andrew and Stevan on Peer Review and Self-Selected Vetting: Supplement or Substitute?
