Who's Afraid of Peer Review?# Biology - 生物学

一篇假文章，投了三百多个地儿，一半愿意接收。
A spoof paper concocted by Science reveals little or no scrutiny at many
open-access journals.
On 4 July, good news arrived in the inbox of Ocorrafoo Cobange, a biologist
at the Wassee Institute of Medicine in Asmara. It was the official letter of
acceptance for a paper he had submitted 2 months earlier to the Journal of
Natural Pharmaceuticals, describing the anticancer properties of a chemical
that Cobange had extracted from a lichen.
In fact, it should have been promptly rejected. Any reviewer with more than
a high-school knowledge of chemistry and the ability to understand a basic
data plot should have spotted the paper's short-comings immediately. Its
experiments are so hopelessly flawed that the results are meaningless.
