Got my hands on my copies of the book today! How exciting!

Yay!

You can buy a copy from:
Springer Publishing

or here:

I’m looking forward to eventually seeing it in WorldCat.

Congratulations to Melissa Rethlefsen (who wrote a heck of a lot more than I did)! You should really go email Melissa now and tell her how much she rocks.

For about a week, I’ve had del.icio.us set up to create daily posts on this blog to point out things I’ve found interesting but don’t have time to write about individually.

What do you think? Are these good? Helpful? Welcome? Should I keep this set-up?

I’d be grateful to hear any opinions you care to share.

Thanks!

-David

  Interesting, but not the model that will replace peer review. Peer review will probably be replaced by web-assisted, more transparent peer review.
