X-Message-Number: 26853 Date: Sat, 20 Aug 2005 09:12:47 -0400 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: anonymity criteria aren't implemented To David Stodolsky: It may well be that the references you gave tell how referees (?) can be anonymous but still not affect the weight of their refereeing. I haven't had time to read those references. However at least as practised right now, anonymity sometimes doesn't work well at all. If you have some way to enforce the standards put out in your references, then they may actually do something useful. Otherwise they need more work and ideas to become significant. Best wishes and long long life for all, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=26853
