  • "I am a vociferous critic of exclusionary and restrictive paradigms in academic publishing and as such welcome WebmedCentral's innovative open access and review model for disseminating research in an efficient manner and allowing the research community at large to comment on submissions and maintain the project's quality." - Dr. Roland Carlstedt, Chairman, Head Mentor; Clinical and Research Direc, American Board of Sport Psychology and Integrative Psychologica Services of New York City, United States of America. on 16th Sep 2011

  • "I share most of your criticism of the traditional peer-review system in science.  Personally, that system has caused me agony many times, especially when I tried to publish methodological articles that conflicted with mainstream viewpoints.  Other times, my attempt to provide post-publication peer-review (in the form of a letter to the editor) has been suppressed.  Several years ago, I even published a critique of the present model (Shahar E.  On editorial practice and peer review. Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice 2007;13:699-701).  Although I proposed a different solution, your model is better than mine in many respects.  The only change I would have made is a technical one.  I would have required a copy-editor to read the paper before it is published, to identify typographical errors and to offer (not impose!) changes that would improve the text.  I am emphasizing the word "offer", because I never liked copy-editors who thought that their writing style was always better than mine. You can find more about my views on my website (http://www.u.arizona.edu/~shahar/).  Click on "exchanges on methodology" and you will find examples of the healthy debate in science that does not end with "the authors' reply".  Scroll down the home page, and you find favorite quotes of mine that are pertinent to pre-publication peer review.  One of these quotes fits your initiative very well.  Maybe you would like to add it to your home page:  "If you restrict the journal to publishing only what pleases the referees, you end up publishing what is popular, and while it does make everyone feel more comfortable, you are guaranteed to miss the occasional breakthrough." -- A. Dessler" - Prof. Eyal Shahar, Division of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Univesrity of Arizona, Arizona, United States of America. on 16th Sep 2011
  • "I support the philosophy of WebMedCentral as it allows people across the globe to share knowledge freely, and helps improve the dissemination of science." - Dr. Sanjay Kalra, Consultant, Bharti Hospital, India. on 16th Sep 2011

  • "Publishing online and evaluating papers." - Mr. Ahmed Othman, Lecturer of Orthopedics, El-Minia University, Egypt. on 16th Sep 2011
  • "I am interested in open publication of web based science and medicine. I think that the internet and world wide web have been a tremendous advance in the proliferation of scientific and medical knowledge to everyone with a computer, regardless of financial resources, access to a library or to journal subscriptions, etc. This should be a tremendous boon to medical research and knowledge around the world." - Prof. Howard Kirshner, Professor and Vice Chair, Department of Neurology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, United States of America. on 16th Sep 2011
  • "I am an academic oncologist and fully support WebmedCentral" - Prof. Wasif Saif, Professor of Medicine, Director GI Cancers, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, United States of America. on 16th Sep 2011
  • "It's appealing to me that post publication peer review can be done in an open way, so scientific results can be publicly discussed. I envision an even more 'public' peer review process in that in addition to reviewers named by the author, any (registered) user of WebmedCentral could write a review post publication to which the authors are requested to respond. By this, discussion of scientific results would be truly open to the scientific communitiy. To prevent 'spam' reviews, reviewers might have to register and describe their scientific expertise, say, before submission of the article to have the chance to review them. As an advisory board member, I would support Webmedcentral within the AML community in Germany, Europe (European LeukemiaNet) and throughout the 'AML-world'." - Dr. Utz Krug, Dept. of Medicine A, University Hospital of Muenster, Germany. on 16th Sep 2011
  • "I like to say that the only papers that are super hard to publish or either very bad or very innovative. We all know of important papers that were rejected by many journals. Your publishing protocol creates an opportunity for both. John Howard, the first editor of the best journal in optics, used to say: "Everyone agrees that half the papers in Applied Optics should never have been published, but no one agrees on which papers they are.” Your model lets the readers decide. Good papers will be cited. Poor papers will be savaged." - Prof. H. Caulfield, Distinguished Professor, Fellow of SPIE, Fisk University, United States of America. on 16th Sep 2011

  • "It is a good begining and a common platform for people to share there researches, as it is available for viewing free of cost, as compared to other journals where acess is limited." - Dr. Sunit Jurel, Lecturer, Department of Prosthodontics, Faculty of Dental Sciences, Upgraded KGMC, India. on 16th Sep 2011

  • "WISHING YOU A GOOD OUTING." - Dr. silas gyar, Associate Professor, Nasarawa State University, Nigeria. on 16th Sep 2011
  • "Scientific publication is undergoing a transition more rapid than brought about by movable print. Information is available everywhere but is it authoritative? Are the authoritative sources timely or are they always a year in arrears and devoid of novelty? What is the value of peer review? Over the next decade these questions will be behind us and it will be due to the efforts of open approaches such as WebmedCentral." - Prof. George Perry, Dean and Professor, University of Texas at San Antonio, United States of America. on 16th Sep 2011
  • "The strategy choosen today by the editorial board of the WebmedCentral allowing reviewing and publications online seems very timely and is of significant benefit to the scientific community and science. This is the best suited formula for publication of scientific articles and making them available quickly to optimize the work of bibliographical research. The trend in the near future will neglect the classical formula and method of publication and confirm the choice of WebmedCentral to waste time." - Prof. Said Jabbouri, Director of Research in UMR, University of La Rochelle, France. on 16th Sep 2011
