This article i found this morning

http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=2586

I have to say, i never believe anything that i read in Nature or Science in the general science topics. Nature broke me of that in 1986 with thier article about homeopathic behaviors of IgE and the followup test of the lab using the magician the Amazing Randy. Henceforth i consider the Journals to be coffee table science magazines. I read the editorials and i follow the collections, for example the NASA exposee on plutos new horizon, and some of the paleonstuff, always good to search the authors names in other journals though  like JHE AJHG AJPA, etc and see if you can find an article that would have the best field specific peer review.  Science claims they seek the most qualified referees for each paper, however thier very high rate of retractions suggests otherwise. 

They always can come up with an answer for you to explain thier failures, the best answer is caveot emtor.
