Review

"The topic is an extremely important one and is of interest to everyone concerned about the reliability and legitimacy of formal scholarly communication....Moran addresses many thorny issues that should be on the minds of all who desire a free flow of information and, more importantly, the unfettered growth of knowledge."-Libraries and Culture

"Gordon Moran has done scholarship a great service by reminding researchers in all fields of the need to renew their commitment to truth and integrity."-The Spectator

Highly recommended for all academic libraries, academics, librarians, publishers, reviewers and editors."-The Australian Library Journal

The book is a useful starting point for considering the never-ending problem of how dissenting scholars can be heard by those whose opinions they challenge. For that reason, this book may be considered for acquisition."-College & Research Libraries
