What I think of the idea behind WebmedCentral:
The philosophy of webmedcentral is "Democracy" fo rall its users. The authors have to be also peer reviewers and viceversa. In fornt of research and discovery people can assume an attitude to privilege privacy and restrain publication or can prefer to communicate their experiences and publish them. The voices may be too many but the possibility of development are without doubt better.
