All....

This is from Mike Brown's Planets blog. Is was pointed out to the cassinihuygens yahoo group by Sean Mac.

Fog at Titan's south pole .......

http://www.mikebrownsplanets.com/2009/08/f...eer-review.html

Paper describing the results and an invitation from Mike brown...
http://www.gps.caltech.edu/~mbrown/papers/ps/fog_pp.pdf

"Peer review, as implemented in the current world of over-stressed astronomers, has some serious flaws, though."

"There has been much talk recently about all of this, and even some interesting experiments done by scientific journals. I thought I would try an experiment of my own here. It goes like this: feel free to provide a review of my paper!"

I thought there are some folks on this forum that would love to jump on this invitation!!!!

Go for it.

If he has a problem with there being only one reviewer, then why submit it to Astrophysical Journal Letters? There are plenty of journals that have two or three reviewers. Generally, they tend to disagree. I'm also puzzled that astronomy journals have only reviewer.... Interesting experiment nevertheless.

Reading his twitter feed, it sounds like no one else wanted to publish the paper.
