However I think you should implement a strict peer review procedure to determine which online articles merit special posting on your site. For example, Harpaz in Human Cognition and the Human Brain violates most rules of scientific publishing, which is exemplified in the manner by which he flippantly dismisses and criticizes other models of cognition. Also, he does not reference his work or the work he cites, dismissing referencing as irrelevant. By providing him a forum in the midst of other leaders in the field of cognitive psychology, he takes on the appearance of an expert himself, which I do not perceive him to be. However, an undergraduate or beginning psychology student who has not yet developed the ability to critically discern between opinion and peer-reviewed science may accept his work at face value. I assume the language barrier plays a role in deciding what to place on your web. Also as I have lived in Germany and Europe for over 15 years I think I can safely say that German academics seem overly respectful of english language publications, especially relating to articles which are clouded and hard to interpret such as Harpaz' s. They seem to give such person's the benefit of the doubt, just as Americans bow down in reverance to any European musician or conductor. It is time to more closely scrutinize online articles so as to maintain the scientific integrity of your mission in providing online resources. Thank you, Dipl. Psy Roland A.
