Nature's peer review blog
Nature has several blogs I discovered recently. One of which is a debate, or forum, on the topic of peer review. They are even trying out an alternative publishing track where authors can post their manuscripts as part of Nature's online content. As I understand it the idea is that it is posted as a draft, and experts (possibly nonexperts) can post their reviews of it. It's nice to see that Nature is pushing reform of the publication/peer review process. According to Nature, 83% of the submitted articles to them are rejected without peer review, and those authors should be given an alternative route to get their work out to the public.
