An Analysis of the Ethics of Peer review

My article, "An Analysis of the Ethics of Peer Review and Other Traditional Academic Publishing Practices.", has been published in the peer reviewed International Journal of Social Science and Humanity. The article considers the ethical aspects of academic publishing including such issues as peer review, copyright transfer, pricing policy and the permanence of journals. In my analysis, I found there to be many ethical failings in these areas, in the traditional practices. I also suggest solutions to these problems.

Please have a read, if you are interested to see a glimpse of how I structure my ethical thinking.

The article can be found here: http://www.ijssh.org/abstract/36-H058.htm

Thanks.

Procedia Social and Behavioral Sciences - ICELD 2010

I don't spell "behavioural", as "behavioral", however, Elsevier do and they have just published the latest issue of Procedia Social and Behavioral Sciences. This issue concerns the ICELD 2010, International Conference on Learner Diversity, at which I presented a paper. My paper is published in this journal.


http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/18770428


The link above takes you to the journal page on Science Direct at Elsevier. My paper is number 78 on their listing, entitled: "The synaesthete, a new type of "gifted" student and how to teach them." In Malaysia, at least, it is downloadable in its entirety, for free. I hope it is where you are, too. So, please have a read. The paper was well received, in person, when I gave it at the conference.


I have a number of forthcoming papers nearing publication in the next three months or so. I will keep you informed about them, in case anyone should be interested in reading them.


Thank you.
