Mike P raises an interesting point:
So, does PNAS have peer review prior to publication or is
it simply pay per page journal ?
Are all pay per page journals to be considered of equal bad or mixed quality? Psych Reports and Psych Record
are both pay-per-page journals that have peer review. Is the peer review less good? Is the
"quality" more suspect? Does the "simply", above, imply, that it is "less than"?

I find this issue to be a red herring. The issue of whether a ms will
be published in a particular journal is dependent on many factors beyond
the quality of the study. "Pay per page" is a crude and misleading
heuristic on which to discriminate among good and bad studies. The
bottom line is that you have to pay attention to the characteristics of
that specific study.

PS - Disclaimer, I have published in a wide range of journals. Some of
my most brutal and extensive reviews have come from the "lower-rung"
journals.
