As part of our scietific ethics/misconduct course we will have a discussion on
peer review. A few months ago I. Weissman had an editorial and questionnaire
concerning peer review in the AAI Newsletter. Personally, I thought many
of his suggestions too heavily favored established investigators at the
expense of young people but he did have some other intriguing thoughts and
I'd like to bring those up for discussion with the class. Unfortunately, I
pitched my copy. If somebody still has the editorial, could they FAX me a
copy at 518-474-3181? I'd be much obliged.
Actually, if anybody has any thoughts on the topic; changes in the system,
whether it works, etc. They might be good discussion straters (here or in
class).
