What I think of the idea behind WebmedCentral:


I like the philosophy of WebMedCentaral publishing group and believe that the current publishing system is both inefficient and biased. Plus it takes months for a researcher to see if at the end his/her worked get published or rejected. Also these days a lot of politics is going on behind the scene which makes publishing in so called high rank journals very difficult and even impossible for many researcher. I believe that every single researcher should have the opportunity to publish easily and a get a fair and just review of their work through a large number of peers in the same area of research.
