Hmm... I actually think that "vxf", inadvertently pointed out the conditions that made
the professional "gateway" unnecessary. In some fields those who write the articles,
those who understand the articles and those who read the articles, are all the same
people. Aside from "publish or perish", I would hope that researchers in most fields
only produce articles when they have something to offer.
On a personnel note; I could care less about the "soft" and/or "social" sciences articles
that swim in a totally political, echo chamber gatekeeping, that has no factual basis to
start with.
Luck;
Ken
