Another slam at peer review. Scientific fraud:-There was an article published online by CNN highlighting the finding by the British journal, BMJ, that Dr. Andrew Wakefield's sensational study linking autism to childhood vaccinations was a "complete fraud".

This article by David Colquhoun (and another by George Monbiot) have stirred up quite a storm about peer review and the academic journal business in The Guardian. The extensive comments are as good as the article.-http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2011/sep/05/publish-perish-peer-review-science-Since I used to earn my living by doing proof-reading for scientific journals I have some familiarity with the academic publishing business. During the time I was working all the smaller companies were gradually eaten up by the big corporations, such as Elsevier.-Colquhoun is a campaigner against homeopathy, acupuncture and other alternative medical treatments that have no adequate evidential backing.

I think the process is terrible. Group think. What must Kuhn think spinning in his grave? George, thanks for your contributions. they have been great.

This article on climate science shows politization and group think. The countries who control the UN IPPC are third world and they want power and money, and use climate scares to opperate. Peer review is vicious here:-http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904537404576554750502443800.html?KEYWORDS=Anne+Jolis
