What I think of the idea behind WebmedCentral:
The idea behind WebMedCentral is how the members of the biomedical scientific community should engage in research, and in publishing their results, whilst up-holding the sanctity of their professional and scientific duties.
I feel that Webmedcentral, if used appropriately, will set the standard.
