See -http://www.copernicus.org/COPERNICUS/publications/copernicus_strategies.html. When scientific articles are submitted they undergo a rapid quality check before being published online in the journal discussions section. The paper is open to comments by anyone in the scientific community and all comments are also posted on-line. The article is then peer-reviewed as normal. The reviews (either anonymous or attributed) are posted on-line along with the original paper and subsequently the authors response to review. The final accepted paper is then published online and open access on the journal website. This solves some of the problems traditionally associated with peer review - but is scary - as the criticism of your work is open for all to see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
