Nature's publication experiments

Nature has launched an online debate about peer review, which you can find at http://www.nature.com/nature/peerreview/index.html. It is also experimenting with open peer review, where submissions to Nature can be subjected to open peer review. Such submissions will be placed on a preprint server, where people can make comments. Read more about both these experiments at http://www.nature.com/nature/peerreview/index.html.

Nature is also opening up its news items to comment, by attaching a blog to each item in its daily news. There is more about this at
