In his Tree of Life blog, Jonathan Eisen posts on PRISM, or the Partnership for Research Integrity in Science and Medicine. It's a coalition launched by the Association of American Publishers with the goal of convincing the scientific community that it's open-access journals, not subscription-based journals, that you should be worrying about. (Open access, it seems, undermines the peer review process.) Eisen writes of the program, "It is the last gasp of a dying breed -- publishers who refuse to do what is the right thing for science and society."
