Peer Injunction
This article is a stub. You can help us by editing this page and expanding it.When Watson and Crick did the Double Helix—and this is the cleanest example we have—the paper was agreed should not be sent out for review, because anyone who was competent would understand immediately what its implications were. There are reasons that great work cannot be peer reviewed. Furthermore, you have entire fields that are existing now with electronic archives that are not peer reviewed. "Peer review" is not peer review. It sounds like Peer review, is "Peer Injunction". It is the ability for your peers to keep the world from learning about your work, because peer review is what happens, real peer review is what happens after you've passed the bullshit thing called "peer review".
