Alternative Peer Review Models

Adam:

I review a variety of alternatives to conventional peer review in an
article published last year titled:

"Peer Review in the Internet Age: Five (5) Easy Pieces," _Against
the Grain_ 16, no. 3 (June 2004): 50, 52-55

A self-archived PDF copy is available at 

[ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~gerrymck/FiveEasyPieces.pdf ] 

Enjoy!
