One, by my son Eric and me, was a paper submitted to Nature that would have been the first to report reduced ozone in the ozone layer following the volcanic eruption of Mount Pinatubo in One of the reviewers felt that my homemade instrument that detected the reduction TOPS-1 was too unknown. Another rejected our findings outright. Yet other papers reporting the same phenomenon were eventually published in various journals. In view of the growing number of papers reporting function and purpose for "junk" DNA, it seems appropriate to post here a letter that was rejected by Science in a similar letter was rejected in :.
To the Editor:. Those supposedly meaningless strands of filler DNA that molecular biologists refer to as "junk" don't necessarily appear so useless to those of us who have designed and written code for digital controllers. A do-nothing string of NOPs might appear as "junk code" to the uninitiated, but, when inserted in a program loop, a string of NOPs can be used to achieve a precise time delay. Perhaps the "junk DNA" puzzle would be solved more rapidly if a few more computer scientists would make the switch to molecular biology.
Some scientists who are requested by a journal editor to review a prospective paper assign the task to a graduate student or some other less qualified individual.
This is a serious abuse of the peer review system, for the reviewer is not necessarily a peer of the author s. In spite of its flaws, peer review has served an important role in improving some of my scientific publications.
I have reviewed papers for several leading scientific journals. The papers were about sun photometry, ultraviolet radiation, solar energy, waves in the ozone layer during various solar eclipses and other atmospheric topics.
An especially interesting and compensated review assignment was the Atlas of Science Literacy, Volume 2, American Academy for the Advancement of Science Project This project, which was supported by the National Science Foundation, is part of a major program to significantly improve science, mathematics and technology curriculum for "all Americans. Mims III. Scientific Research. Mauna Loa Observatory.
Scientific American. WWW www. Society for Amateur Scientists The Citizen Scientist, which I edited for the Society for Amateur Scientists from , carried my columns about many aspects of science. Radio Shack Getting Started in Electronics has sold more copies than any other book about electronics. The book was written for Radio Shack, where it sold more than 1,, copies. The book is available at amazon. The book was extensively revised and expanded following three rounds of reviews by a member panel of scientists and former staff of the Mauna Loa Observatory.
It was recommended for publication following a 5-month review by two readers retained by the University of Hawaii Press. The catalog listing is here. Chapter one is here free.
