After all the fun re the El Nashie fan board "Chaos, Solitons and Fractals" it seems Elsevier has put another nail in their coffin by allowing the pharma company Merck to run their pseudo scientific marketing journal under their flag: Merck Makes Phony Peer-Review Journal | blog.bioethics.net .

Great, I think nobody in the world can claim anymore that our libraries should throw big money at these commercial publishing houses because they provide the quality control that open access publication cannot provide.

I completely agree!The libraries should save their money.
I am eagerly awaiting your next post. I'm a big fan. I work on used engines all day, I need some unwind time at home. I love reading good posts after putting the wrench to engines all day.
