[Irtalk] Rate that journal : Nature News & Comment

[Hilton Gibson]

*What if scientific journals were like hotels, restaurants and holiday
operators — easy to compare online and reviewed by those who use them?*
That thought occurred to conservation biologist Neal Haddaway two years
ago: frustrated by a bad experience publishing his work with a journal he
prefers not to name, he decided to launch Journalysis.org, a journal-review
site that he likens to TripAdvisor. “I wanted to basically reward the
journals that were doing a good job and, within reason, name and shame the
ones that weren't doing so well,” he says.
