Scientific Instruments

I usually read the scientific American

, but i would be interested in a Nature Babes magazine

More.

Every journal claims to publish to most high-quality research. If a new journal doesn't come up, the same high-quality research will just appear in other journals.

The only added value journals have to justify their price is their peer review (done for free by other authors). Considering that 'stricter' is not 'better', and that peer review is a non-transparent process that doesn't get published, the only way I can find out is by sending an article for publication and witness the quality or review.

Alas, I am not a chemist. Therefore I shall never know.

Generally speaking, I'd love to someday see the obvious: That scientific research dissemination, reviewed for free anyway, becomes free. With the internet and word-processor templates having rendered editors largely redundant, the only (powerful) thing standing in the way is inertia + personal/ corporate interest.
