- For many years a University of Chicago journal (Current Anthropology)
- has made a point of requesting public comment ("reviews") of articles
- that were subject to a variety of opinions. This was done with the
- author's approval and the article was held for two or three issues in
- order to allow copies to be mailed to all readers who requested them
- and to allow their short comments to be returned to the editors. These
- public replies were then published in conjunction with the original
- article and a summary comment by the author. This "star" treatment is
- not done for all articles, but I have felt this was an excellent idea.
