Este tipo de art\u00edculos abre otras oportunidades, pero tambi\u00e9n pone al descubierto algunas dudas y la necesidad de alcanzar ciertos acuerdos. Como m\u00ednimo, debiera ser materia de reflexi\u00f3n. Veamos cual es su filosof\u00eda. Eatrh and Life<\/span>  <\/span>rescata el punto de vista que dio lugar al nacimiento de Internet<\/span>. Veamos que nos dicen sus editores.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seguidamente os dejo con su publicidad y luego har\u00e9 una serie de comentarios. <\/span>Aqu\u00ed vamos:<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

An new revolutionary professional geoscience web journal<\/span>\u2014 <\/span>Earth &  <\/span>Life<\/span> (www.geofinds.com<\/a>)<\/o:p><\/span><\/h2>\n

It is the quickest publishing geoscience journal on the Earth, with a promise that any qualified manuscripts <\/span><\/i>can <\/span><\/i>be published in one week after reception. <\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

It is instantly distributed to over 30,000 geoscientists throughout the world! <\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

It<\/span><\/i> adopts revolutionary self-review policy, which gives authors the right to find reviewers for their own manuscripts<\/span><\/i>: since it believes that most scientists have the ability to guarantee the quality of their own manuscripts and judge the quality of what they read; They do not absolutely need rely on  <\/span>a few publishing businessmen. <\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

It is a guarantee of quick and smooth publication of research results of all geoscientists! <\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

It will end the time when a few publishing businessmen control publication of research results of geoscientists! <\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

It is<\/span><\/i> creating a new era when scientists have more freedom to say what they want to say! <\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

It is the most<\/span><\/i> effective way <\/span><\/i>for geoscientists <\/span><\/i>to publish their <\/span><\/i>own papers<\/span><\/i> on the Earth! <\/span><\/i><\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Since it is such a  <\/span>good thing, why do not we submit our manuscripts to support its growth!<\/span><\/i><\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Guidelines to authors<\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/i><\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

Earth & Life<\/span><\/i> (EL)<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i>is an officially registered web journal, on the website www.geofinds.com<\/a><\/span>., with <\/span><\/i>Beijing<\/span><\/i><\/st1:place><\/st1:City> ICP Reg No. 05031473. <\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Scope: It weekly publishes papers on paleontology, sedimentology, stratigraphy, geochemistry, tectonics, petroleum geology, petrology, mineralogy, hydrogeology, structural geology, and all other branches of geosciences!<\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Paper types Research papers, comments, reviews are all welcome!<\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Review policy Traditional peer review policies is for finding errors in manuscripts and exclude poor-quality manuscripts. However, a very bad function explored by a few reviewers is to kill competitors’ papers with seemingly reasonable reasons. <\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

For this reason, EL rejected traditional peer-reviewing policy and adopted an revolutionary self-reviewing policy<\/span><\/a><\/u>, which lets the author to ask an expert in the same or similar field and with publications to review one’s manuscript and send an email to the journal to declare that he has reviewed the manuscript and would support it to be published, and that he\/she agrees that his\/her name will appear as reviewer at the end of the paper as it is published. <\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Pues bien: \u00bfradical o no?. Desde luego que s\u00ed<\/span>. Se que esta nota se le va a indigestar a muchos. Posiblemente debiera ser tema de debate en Tecnocidanos<\/span>. A mi, personalmente, me gusta. Al fin y al cabo, ser\u00e1n los lectores quienes juzguen. Esto es democracia y no meritocracia. Tambi\u00e9n el padre de la Web<\/a> ten\u00eda una idea similar<\/span> in mente cuando desarroll\u00f3 la Internet<\/a>. Y desde luego nadie puede dudar que tal iniciativa revolucion\u00f3 el mundo de la comunicaci\u00f3n<\/span>. \u00bfO no? Sin embargo, tal \u00f3rdago, deja otras iniciativas muy interesantes en ciertos apuros<\/span>. Obviamente no es lo mismo seguir la interesant\u00edsima apuesta de PlosOne<\/span>, por cuanto all\u00ed todo est\u00e1 sujeto a cr\u00edtica y aqu\u00ed no. Tal dilema habr\u00e1 que resolverlo. Me parece perfecto que existan diversas modalidades<\/span>. Sin embargo, tal hecho conllevar\u00e1 tambi\u00e9n una jerarquizaci\u00f3n del valor de las publicaciones en Open Access<\/span>, seg\u00fan la modalidad escogida: \u00bfO no? Se trata de un tema que generar\u00e1 pol\u00e9mica, tarde o temprano. Deber\u00e1 llegarse a alg\u00fan tipo de acuerdo: \u00bfO no? Tema para el debate. En cualquier caso, cuanto antes comience la pol\u00e9mica mejor que mejor.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Bueno, pues que cada uno extraiga sus propias conclusiones. Las revoluciones siempre comienzan generando este tipo de situaciones. No pasa nada. Con el tiempo se alcanza el equilibrio. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
