Any other information:

I would be interested in a journal/speciality devoted to Endocrine Surgery and would be happy to involve a group of like minded colleagues from around the world to set up an Editorial board

What I think of the idea behind WebmedCentral:

WebmedCentralplus is a good idea and modification on the principles of WedmedCentral. To my mind, peer review is the best of the few available mechanisms of quality control and some form of peer review is essential before publication.
