Richard Smith, the BMJ editor whose fulminations against pre-publication peer review have done so much to inform my own thinking on the subject, has returned to the fray:
Recently a paper that I wrote with several others was reviewed by another journal of global repute. Again there were three reviewers (the Holy Trinity), and I'm not very unkind when I paraphrase their reviews as: Reviewer A: "Please reference my work"; Reviewer B: "Pay more attention to my specialty"; and Reviewer C "The authors should have written the paper in the gnomic language that I use."
Last time I mentioned my views on peer review, Bob Ward said my views were biased and misleading.
Look out Dr Smith.
