Re: More on COI & Journal Publishing Retractions

More | Report Post

I would like to know who this little group of "peer reviewers"
are who keep helping to get bogus papers published in medical
journals.

Is there some secret club of these guys? Annonymous peer review
process seems to be able to cause some real problems.

I think that when they catch these guys in deceptive medical
journal publishings - their peers who purportedly did extensive
review need to be outted, too, for their roles in the matter.

I would be willing to bet that when one looks closely, there
are a lot of peers who just happen to be reviewing each others'
papers in different publishings.
