[leps-talk] The Bt debate--take a cautious view

[Thomas P. LeBlanc]

Mike,  As far as Ornithological Journals, example the AUK, Wilson, IBIS, The
Condor, and Journal of Field Ornithology you do have to pay to publish your
paper in there journal.  It is around 10 to 20 dollars a page but it is Peer
reviewed unlike the paid publications that you were discussing.

Moreover, if you actually read the articles, the PNAS has a disclaimer that
these articles were paid for and should be viewed as paid advertisements.
Frankly I have never seen anything like it in a scientific journal, and I
can't
imagine why the researchers chose this route of publication.


By the way, just because research is paid for doesn't mean it is wrong,
flawed,
or fraudulent.  Research is a job like any other (but more fun than most).
But
when publication is paid for, it imparts a curious color to the results, at
least in my mind.
