The Problems With Peer-Review

This is an excellent article for non-scientists to understand how peer-review publishing works.

I will add one other problem: the reviewers (the cake tasters) are members of the "club." Even though this is science, very few people outside of the political and scientific (yes, both) mainstream are asked to review articles. So, truly innovative concepts are more difficult to get published than they should be.
