What I think of the idea behind WebmedCentral:

I think that WebmedCentral offers a unique chance to researchers to quicly and safely publish their results in a high referenced open access web portal which allows the free exchange of scientific contents among a growing number of interested users. This is fully in line with the changing trend of science interplay among the scientific community.
