•Online class! By the end of class (9:50)
please complete the following exercise:
•As the new editor–in–chief of a
significant journal published by Reed Elsevier you would like to modernize the
academic publishing process. You are eager to implement “open peer review” See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_peer_review
even after Nature’s experiment with this form of peer review failed (see http://www.nature.com/nature/peerreview/debate/nature05535.html).
However, a more recent experiment by Noah Wardrip-Fruin on the Grand Text Auto
blog was more successful (see http://grandtextauto.org/2009/05/12/blog-based-peer-review-four-surprises/). Do you try to convince your colleagues to try
open peer review or are you daunted by examples such as Nature’s?
•Upload your 3-5-paragraph response to
Google docs. Make sure you share your document so it is visible to anyone and
add a link to the document as a comment on the Lecture 33 post. Be sure to
e-mail the link to your TA and I as
well.
