I support the idea of the discussion forums at all scientific journals and Internet scientific journals, also.
I believe that it is expedient to take into account (in course of
the defenses of scientific degrees) papers published at such forums if
they (papers) were approved by leading scientists. I offer to recommend
to Higher Certifying Commission (HCC) to include such discussion forums
in the list of admissible editions.

The present situation of Russian science is the source of clans,
contractual defenses of dissertations, concentrating wanted (obsequious,
appeasable) stupid people around scientific bureaucrats that have a
power. Such wanted peoples become candidates and doctors of sciences.
The enterprising, talented peoples are forced to leave science. Pitiful
sight of small groups of people trying to keep near the scientific pork
and to have maximum profit from it (by means of different titles and
positions) take place as a result. Thus, the possibility of open
discussion and free exchange of views (in legal form) in Internet will
prevent and maybe eliminate the possibility to make clans and servility
around scientific bureaucrats.

I was surprised that this question wasn't discussed in Internet yet
(it maybe discussed, I don't check it). I completely agree with all
proposals (offered by the site authors), concerned with the change of
the present system of publication and estimation of scientific papers.
However, I think that a forum is necessary for this site. Russian forum
is necessary for Russian part of the site and English Forum for other
part of the site. Different scientists can write their notes to such
forums, that language they know. The interaction between these part of
the site is the problem of the authors of the site. I'd like, also, to
offer to make a database, containing information about different
rejected (by different publishers) papers (the reasons of rejection,
editors names, time of papers submission, author-editor correspondence,
papers texts).

I think it is a great project to develop new standards for the
scientific publications taking into consideration the new communication
technology to get red of old fashion process that still in use for
referring and evaluating scientific publications. You have presented a
good number of reasons and justifications for this change. An
international efforts and recognition has to made to change the old
system. Good luck.

I agree with most of your proposals.
I have some funny experiences with the reviewers of some famous journals.
I will post them sometime later. We are now in the new arena of
world wide science progress and communication. New ideas and new
researches must be known and discussed largely in the world. Physics
Forum may be one of the good places for the interests of the science
world. We need more ideas and contributions of the scientists in the
world.

It is in my opinion that the elemental point of view of the
revision of the present system is that we should. In saying this what we
are really saying is that what is, is in fact not. We must then bring
to attention the fact that what may or may not be could have no parallax
consequence to the estimation of scientific papers.

I read your postings on PhysicsForums and made some replies.
My feeling is the only way to begin a new process of publishing is to
have a few recognized web sites to publish and archive new papers.
Possibly, your site should index the 'most visited' papers. Since
the most important work would get referenced in new papers, then we
could assume that the most 'visited' papers would be a way to 'rank'
papers that avoids the pier review problem. It will only be when
'important' publications are found on such websites (or blogs as you
suggest) that we would overcome the pier review problem of major
publications

The problem that you try to solve is really important. Its detailed developmental work struck me. However, there are some notes:
1. your following phrase (at the text begining) just horrify: "
Every highly tailored scientific journal must have" Nobody don't must
to do anything for us. Of course, the revolution is more effective then
co-existence, but revolutionary ideas rejected at the beginning. They
studied only later. It is necessary to develop anew project based
on the co-existence of the present and new publication system (if you
really want to change anything, but not come to the assembly of the
martyrs of present science). The new system of accessible
electronic journals is need now (I think that it exist now).
2. (I wrote it to your forum) the discussions (at the forums) can't guarantee that innovative work (paper) will be marked.
3. Internet is anonymous by its nature and I can't understand how
can you defend our journal against anonymous persons like "Ivanov
Petrov", which will begin to write positive notes on their friends
papers?

Dear enterprising group,
I am a former plant engineer. Now I am work veteran. Thus, such as I
have not any direct links to science now. However, I work in
polytronic physics now. You will know it if you will visit my web site:
Please, don't think that I want to use you to introduce (in
practice) my ideas. I have passed very serious life tests (Russian term "
to pass a fire, water and cupper pipes") when I tried to call to so
called scientific community. I have not get any results. The short
information about different organizations and well known peoples which
were informed (by me) about my works: about two tens of institutes, tens
famous and well known world level theorists, 2 Russian journals, 4
foreign journals and even to our (Russian) president! The deaf silence
was their answers. Just journals sent their single formal replies
where they informed me about my papers discrepancy to their scientific
direction or big number of pages (in my papers). Some of foreign
journals answers contained badly masking allusion to Russian nature of
authors (they mean that they don't have time to publish their authors,
but not only Russian authors). So, I have very big doubts, concerned
with our initiative, devoted to the revision of the system of estimation
of scientific papers! Bureaucrats will to drop our initiative. I think
that your most effective proposal is the development of scientific
forums. I think that is necessary to make some actions with Russian
State Duma. It is necessary to get a more high status for scientific
forums. It is necessary a low about status of scientific forums.
There you are! Mr. Morozov has pleased us with this electronic multi-subject magazine .IT IS INVESTIGATED IN RUSSIA.
I bring two quotations from, so-called, "concept" of magazine:
- Articles from authors should have the recommendation of two
doctors of the sciences, which are known as experts in the given
subjects. Permissive doctors cannot recommend within one-year more than
two articles. Doctors, recommending the given article, cannot be its
authors (or co-authors). Surnames of permissive doctors are specified in
magazine after the title of article, if they do not object to it.
- Article will be published without the recommendation, if among
its co-authors there are members of the Russian Academy of Science.
Although to twenty doctors you can address for recommendations .
they will be silent, as guerrillas, if you are not a berry from their
field. The RAS is like a small party. And they have made this magazine
for themselves . by a principle, that wolves should be full, and lambs
should be safe and sound.
Look at the cover of magazine. It is smudged with Bohr.s model of
atoms with electrons rotating around of a nucleus. The model for a long
time has sunk into oblivion, but they continue to pull the wool over
reader's eyes. I would advise initiative group to be afraid of such help
especially. It is the example of direct attack of "scientific"
bureaucracy on your initiative. I at all do not take into account new
ideas. The censors for new ideas do not exist at all, since anybody,
except for the author, yet does not understand this idea. I have in view
of cases, when the author has convincingly shown a mistake in an
official paradigm, but scientific reviewers pretend, that they do not
see and do not hear it. For example, well-known carbon fullerens
represent hollow balls. In all books their sizes and amount of atoms in
each ball are specified. Take the calculator and calculate the density
of carbon in fulleren. You find out, that it in 4 times is more, than
density of carbon in graphite, and in 2.5 times it is more, than in
diamond. Why all .known experts in the given subjects. are silent?

I believe that this problem takes place.
My proposal is compromise between present reality situation and
this project. I support the idea of the creating of public thematic
Internet forums (that will discuss papers) at the sites of journals.
However, I am afraid, that a reader will be overwhelmed by the
information avalanche. I'd like to propose to send a submitted
paper (with additional letter of credence, containing the corresponding
points of view of forum members) to the publisher after 2-3 month
discussion. It is necessary to force journal reviewers to take into
account these points of view during making their (reviewer) decisions
about paper publication or forced them to base any their decision.
Papers published at the journals maybe described as complete scientific
papers. Paper that was transferred (at the forums) at the folder
"accepted" must be described as thesis or report.

Your project is actual. I confronted with a barrier to publish
scientific publications. I also confronted with the absence of any
reactions from the such addresses where you sent you letters. I'd like
to offer you to acquaint yourself with "Nanoworld" encyclopedia and
with the process of the creation of microwave energetics and aviation: http://nanoworld.narod.ru/To present it (pico-technology) to people I must pay 50000
USA $ for the registration in NCBI. What kind of marasmus is that?
