[QUOTE]Originally posted by Quetzalcoatl: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Quetzalcoatl: Deceitful One speaks again. I am not claiming that my 10-12 Comments to PLoS papers are letters to the editors. My letters to the editors were published by BioEssay and the Proceedings of the Royal Society. These papers were responded to by the authors. Stop trying to compare my comments to PLoS articles and the Dienekes.blogspot, as letters to the editor. Oh Great Deceiver you are the one trying to be tricky . [/qb][/QUOTE]Continuing to lie and obfuscate. We have finally settled that the stuff you submit to PloS is not peer reviewed. However, you hope that playing with words will confuse your followers. In some journals, for example, [b]Nature[/b] "letters" means something that is original research and is peer reviewed. However, not every journal uses the term equally, nor does a reply to a comment mean that somehow it becomes peer reviewed. Your submission to BioEssays for example. Original paper: Chaubey G, Metspalu M, Kivisild T, Villems, R. 2007. “Peopling of South Asia: investigating the caste-tribe continuum in India,” [b]BioEssays[/b] 29:91–100 Winters comment: Winters C. 2007 “Did the Dravidian speakers originate in Africa?” [b]BioEssays[/b] 29:497–498. The authors replied to Winters in order to point out his embarassingly huge error. BTW Kivisild is the author of the 1999 paper that Winters continues to misquote. Does Winters think that he knows better than the author himself? Gyaneshwer Chaubey, Mait Metspalu, Richard Villems, Toomas Kivisild. 2007. “Reply to Winters” [b]BioEssays[/b] 29(5): 499 The key passage in Chaubey, et als’ reply says: “MtDNA-based genetic arguments provided by Dr. Winters in favor of gene flow from Africa to Dravidian-speaking Indians are, however, [b]entirely erroneous. The author has been, unfortunately, confused by overlooking changes in mtDNA haplogroup (hg) nomenclature. Namely hg, M1 in Kivisild et al.(4) has been later changed to hg M3, in order to avoid parallel nomenclatures.(5)[/b] Furthermore, a recent dedicated paper on phylogeography of mtDNA hg M1(6) as well as an extensive comparative mapping of autosomal genetic markers among many Indian populations relative to global populations elsewhere, including Africans,(7) do not provide any clues for a putative recent gene flow, from Africa, to Dravidian-speaking populations in South Asia. And contrary to Winters’ assertion (who is the liar?), BioEssays does not peer review his type of submission. Subject: Re: Question Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2007 11:39:50 +0100 X-Priority: 3 X-ELNK-Received-Info: spv=0; X-ELNK-AV: 0 X-ELNK-Info: sbv=4; sbrc=+0; sbf=bb; sbw=000; sbr=+ In answer to your question - No - correspondence does not undergo peer review, it is read and accepted or rejected by the Editor only. If you would like to send me your piece I will pass it to the Editor. Best wishes Stephanie Hamer Editorial Administrator BioEssays ----- Original Message ----- Dear Sirs: A question: Are letters submitted to the "Correspondence" section of BioEssays refereed in the same way that other submitted articles are? Thank you, [/QB][/QUOTE]
