Colleagues/ I am pleased to announce the SecondPosting to my _Disruptive Scholarship_ blog [ http://disruptivescholarship.blogspot.com ] Invisible Hand(s) There are forces, factors, and influences _other than_ pending classical peer review that assure the quality of scholarship _before_ formal publication. * "Invisible Hand(s): Quality Assurance in the Age of Author Self-Archiving," Jekyll.comm: International Journal on Science Communication no. 6 (September 2003). Available at [ http://jekyll.comm.sissa.it/commenti/foc06_01_eng.pdf ] (accessed 8 February 2005) * PowerPoint version self-archived at [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~gerrymck/Hands.ppt ] (accessed 8 February 2005).
