"A Conversation about Peer Review in Academic Publishing”

Peer review is a particular problem with frontier science. "The history of modern science could be written on the basis of papers first rejected for publication." Preprint servers will no doubt see an ever growing role to bypass the conservatism of the academy.
America’s Broken Health Care: Diagnosis and Prescription, by John Abramson, best explains how pharma uses so-called Peer Review to pimp new drugs! I.e. pay a uniservity to do a "study" pay a doctor to hustle JAMA NEJM etc. to publish a "Peer Review" [science free] add in their journals, for so-called doctors to cite & sell pharm's new questionable drugs! i.e. why Big Pharma's have had to pay out over 5 Billion in Fraud fines! i.e. just the people you want to trust with your health, Right?
