"This would have to just entail a shift in attitudes to the point that people would go back to sharing their results in the same way they did before what we currently call "peer review" existed. And it wasn't that long ago, historically speaking."

Y'know, I think "Free Republic" would be a good model to do this. A scientific paper would be "published" as news stories are currently (in full, NOT ABSTRACTED), and "peer review" take place via the comments. You'd get a lot of chaff along with the heat, but I think it could work. Problem is how to run it so it pays for itself.

LOL...that's supposed to be "wheat", but there'd undoubtedly be a lot of heat as well.
