Nobel winning scientist to boycott top science journals

Nobel winning scientist to boycott top science journals:

 "He asserts that the practices of the top journals is causing undo difficulties with young researchers who have become convinced the only true measure of success is publication in one of the top tier journals.
He continues by suggesting that because the top tier journals are run by editors, rather than scientists, it's often the flashiest articles that get published, rather than the best or most relevant."

Ah, politics and in-fighting. It's everywhere. "Politics is pissing in public." (Norman O. Brown)
