Glen, You raise an interesting information theoretical point. Note that your decision to (3) is not independent of your decision to (1) or (2). Some redundancy here. I am sure there are cases where you start to (3) and then decide that you have to (1) after all. Or vice versa. Nick Nich

Re: [FRIAM] Homeostasis by Peer Review

Russ, What you propose here is actually more elaborate and interesting than what I had in mind. It's what I proposed PLUS behavioral and brain sciences. On my account, nothing gets published until the author is ready; on my account, everything gets published with a rating. On your account,

Re: [FRIAM] Homeostasis by Peer Review

Nick, What a great idea. Makes reviewing like recommending, and it gives potential readers a better sense of why someone liked or disliked an article. It really changes the nature of a journal. Rather than selectively publishing only the well reviewed articles, everything would be published along
