Open-access science journals slammed for poor reviews, profit motives
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 3 () -- An error-ridden science paper submitted in an effort to expose unethical academic publishers was accepted by 157 open-access science journals, its author says.The sting operation by the journal Science uncovered problematic and unethical behavior by publishers of "fee for publication" journals, some of which resort to false addresses, use overseas bank accounts and routinely provide only superficial "peer reviews," the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday."From humble and idealistic beginnings a decade ago, open-access scientific journals have mushroomed into a global industry, driven by author publication fees rather than traditional subscriptions," Science contributing correspondent John Bohannon, who wrote the hoax paper, wrote in a report on the operation.Bohannon put together a spurious and fatally flawed study on a purported cure for cancer -- including purposeful blunders that should have been detected during a proper review -- to 304 open-access journals.A worrying total of 157 journals accepted it,[url=http://www.moncleroutleto.co.uk]moncler uk[/url], Bohannon said,[url=http://www.pachasvip.com]hollister outlet[/url], while only 98 rejected it. The remaining 49 did not respond, he said.Many of the journals accepting the paper demanded fees of thousands of dollars for publication.Some of the open-access journals Bohannon submitted his paper to did prove to be professional in their practices, Bohannon acknowledged."Some open-access journals that have been criticized for poor quality control provided the most rigorous peer review of all," Bohannon wrote.The flagship journal of the Public Library of Science, PLoS ONE, was the only journal that called attention to the paper's potential ethical problems, he noted.

About the Author:
Many parents and educators agree that there are several changes needed in the education system to ensure that children are better prepared to face society when they have completed their education. Many Memphis private schools are emphasizing the need for the introduction of the Montessori educational system. The system is drastically different from the traditional educational system and is becoming quite popular for its emphasis on the personal development of students as opposed to examinations. It is no wonder that Memphis Montessori schools are so popular today.
There has been a lot of debate surrounding Montessori schools in Memphis [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] as opposed to traditional schools. There are arguments for and arguments against both [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] school systems. However, many people argue without trying to find out exactly what Memphis Montessori schools have to offer.
Montessori schools in Memphis can trace their origins back to Italy. Maria Montessori developed the education system with the aim of educating poor children in her country. She felt that there was a great need to change the traditional education system and develop a [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] new system of learning that emphasized the development of the person and not only the child's ability to pass examinations.
Although the system was originally developed to educate poor children, it has spread throughout the globe. There are many schools that apply [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the Montessori system. Many private schools in Memphis apply the Montessori educational system.
A [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Memphis private school that uses the Montessori education system emphasizes two major developmental needs that every child needs. These needs are freedom within limit and an environment that stimulates learning through exposure.
There are several things that are unique about Montessori schools in Memphis especially when it comes to their philosophy. The Montessori system emphasizes that each child is unique [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] and should therefore be approached as a unique individual. The system also stresses that children and adults are different and should therefore be approached in a different manner.
According to the Montessori schools in Memphis the environment [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] of a child is vital to their learning. It is for this reason [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] that children in private schools in Memphis [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] are provided with an environment that encourages learning. Children are believed to be more sensitive to their environments. They [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] are also believed to have a greater intellectual ability to absorb information from their environment than adults.
Private schools in Memphis applying the Montessori system stress that the most important years in a child's development are the first six years of life. These are the years where their unconscious learning is being brought out to the conscious level. These are therefore the formative years of a child's mind, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] character, and personality. It is therefore vital to expose this child to a learning environment that will stimulate them to grow further beyond the first six years of life.
Montessori schools in Memphis have realized that children are unlike adults in their [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] purpose for work. While adults will work for the completion of a goal, children will work for the sake of doing the activity. It is in doing this that they are able to develop mentally, intellectually, and socially.
