What I think of the idea behind WebmedCentral:


I believe that it was necessary in order to make science more dynamic and creative effort, more like it used to be. It is necessary to improve signal-to-noise ratio in biomedical science and post publication peer review could help in it. Significant new ideas could appear publicly more frequently and could be more easily recognized. On the other hand, more responsibility is given to the authors and it could prevent spreading of texts with small informative values.
