The iPad also provided peer reviewed internet sites and direct access to online textbooks, but was not linked to the electronic medical record.
Why was the paper's defence correspondent not involved, if only to provide peer review?
Though long winded, this allowed time for reflection by both authors and the independent referees who the provide "peer review".
Therefore, we have partnered with the International Medical Informatics Association IMIA Social Media Working Group SMWGMWG) to provide peer review for all research-based submissions to Medicine X.
Data from a survey that we conducted among these researchers confirms that at least one third of these journals do not provide peer review or they engage in some other type of irregular editorial practice.
This project will also be assessed via peer review (providing peer review is one of the course requirements).
Once this becomes common practice worldwide, such repositories will become the standard home for papers, subscriptions can be canceled, and journals can downsize to just providing peer review at a fair, affordable, sustainable price, he says.
Open Access journals usually provide peer review like journals following the conventional publishing model.
Repositories provide access and citability, but the degree of validation varies widely and few are equipped to provide peer review.
We gratefully acknowledge Doina Atanasiu and Ashoke Sharon for generously donating their valuable time in providing peer review for this manuscript.
