from   Stevan Harnad,  Marco Fabbrichesi, and  Andrea Cerroni

The articles are extensions/continuations/elaborations of
presentations made at

"Invisible Hand(s)" explores one of many issues related to Peer
Reviewthat I address in the presentation prepared for the Trieste
Workshop titled

"Alternative Peer Review: Quality Management for 21st Century
Scholarship"
