Wouldn't it be nice to have a forum to review the reviews of the reviewers!

Sure would be, AlamoGirl! I really do wish I could post what I have, but it doesn't belong to me. In any case, the article is some 30 pages in length -- a tad long to post here. (The review itself is six teensy paragraphs.)

I have a feeling this work will be published in some form soon. When that happens, I can be more forthcoming. :^)

On the subject of peer-review, I checked out the website of Nature Magazine. They say:

Nature has space to publish only 10% or so of the 170 papers submitted each week, hence its selection criteria are rigorous. Many submissions are declined without being sent for review.

Sounds rough. They provide statistics for the years 1997 though 2003, and their acceptance rate varies from 10.74% in 1997 to only 8.9% in 2003 (in which year 9,581 papers were submitted, and only 853 were published). Source: Getting published in Nature.

I'm hoping it will be very soon! Thank you so much for all of your insights, my dear sister in Christ.
