What I think of the idea behind WebmedCentral:


WebmedCentral is an excellent post-publication review biomedical web portal.  It was launched in July 2010.  It aims to eliminate bias, increase transparency, and empower authors.  It also aims to improve speed and accountability, and encourage free exchange of ideas.
