Journal Vs. Journal
One of my side projects is to contribute papers to the Journal of Debunking Conspiracy Theories. We have come out with another edition with some interesting contributions. Ironically, my paper made a site in Germany, before I was even able to comment about it here.
Now on the other side of the spectrum, the Scholars (snicker, snicker) have their Journal of 9/11 Studies, which just came out with a new edition. It is mostly a new version of Steven Jones' website. I found the intro rather amusing:
The paper has undergone significant modifications following a third set of peer review organized by Journal of 9/11 Studies Editor Kevin Ryan.OK, let me get this straight. His "peer review" was organized by the person he appointed to the position, at the journal he founded and runs, and who has also contributed to the very paper that he is arranging the peer review for.
Am I the only one who sees a potential problem here?

It is funny, every single time I have made the open challenge to CTers to present to me one other legitimate non-web based science journal that has peer reviewed the paper and published it...All I get is silence. I wonder why?
lol.
