BBC News - Journal stem cell work 'blocked' - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2...

"Stem cell experts say they believe a small group of scientists is effectively vetoing high quality science from publication in journals." - I heard this on the Today programme this morning and it struck me that a lot of the issues raised seem to apply equally well to other disciplines too.

This is a great story about people taking on the role of making an important codebase not just available, but also as clear as they can. I don't know the details but the motivation is clearly the right thing.

It very nicely shows you cannot split up ODOSOS...

Mostly laughed about the very accurate depiction of the "anonymous peer review process" (starting at 2:40mins)!

Wow, that's comedy gold right there. Hilarious :)

Astonishing.

Am I the only one wondering why the comment wasn't just published on his blog?
- Neil Ernst
@Alec: no, that was my thought as well. I'd have given up on the journal after about the second round, and just put the information on the web. Hell, I didn't even rtwt, it was making me feel ill.
- Bill Hooker
The stamina of the guy is indeed amazing! I guess that's what you do when you think this comment is the only chance you've got to clear your name...
- Björn Brembs
@Victor / Mendeley Team : You should add a checkbox feature to Mendeley ("this article is whack") and allow links to external blogs or whatever that described the whackness. It'd be cool for a warning to pop up for all other users based on common PMID or DOI. Of course you probably have ratings / shared comments thing in mind, but this would be a subset of that :)
- Steve Koch
I read the entire story when a friend of mine shared your blog entry via Google Reader. The entire story is very very saddening (despite the brilliant sense of humor of Prof. Rick Trebino). Even though I totally agree that not mentioning the title of the paper, name of the journal and editors is the most honorable way to cover this story, I would definitely love to know who they were.....
