Re: [GWL]: Extremely egregious

This seems to be the way scientific journals work.  The best ones have a 
'jury" of editors who decide that Dr. X's study is worth publishing.  Then 
they tell him how much it will cost him to get his work published (and once 
published, that's a boost toward promotion, etc.).  To me, it makes 
scientific journals suspect, and I'd certainly be suspicious of any 
consumer magazine that lets people buy their way into news pages. Margaret
