RE: Merck published fake journal

[Jean-Claude Gu�don <jean.claude.guedon@umontreal.ca>]

I simply love this... After the subprime fiasco of bankers, the 
fake peer-reviewed journals from commercial publishers. What 
next?  My imagination confesses not being strong enough to reach 
that level of reality, but it goes way beyond fiction. Kurt 
Vonnegut, where are you, now that we really need you?

And what about quality assurance (a.k.a. added value)?

Only possible conclusion: science is too important to be left in 
the hands of commercial publishers.
