- Certhas 9y agoThere are very valid reasons for embargo periods. Other than that I agree. That should be the default.
- eternauta3k 9y agoWhy do you believe journals are the correct place to apply pressure?
- kobeya 9y agoBecause in principle peer review is the basis of scientific progress. Without peer review, poor incentives lead to scientific inquiry about as accurate or useful as Buzzfeed. Of course modern journals are a disgrace to the enlightenment. But the solution is to fix them, or if that can't be done, replace them. Not to stop the system of peer review entirely.
