this is not what is normally referred to as a “peer reviewed journal.”....***Nothing will satisfy the naysayers when it comes to this peer review baloney

There are supposed to be standards of independence, competence and intellectual honesty. What these guys are doing is similar to what the Global Climate Change guys did. They set up a peer review system of insiders with a point to prove and that is what they insure gets published. You may think that that is the general rule in the sciences, but it is not. The American Physical Society maintains pretty high standards and when folks try to manipulate it, resignations happen, and resignations by people who have the respect of the general physics community.

None of the guys on the editorial board are folks that anyone would regard as just good solid capable physicists.

Loads and loads of it. The Peer Review process was corrupted by the hot fusion boys, and the intellectually and dishonestly drove Pons & Fleischmann out of town.

What these guys are doing is similar to what the Global Climate Change guys did.
***And the hot fusion boys. You can thank them for the current state of “science” — spending $billions on 6MJoules of energy while this technology has generated hundreds of times that at a fraction of the cost.

They set up a peer review system of insiders with a point to prove and that is what they insure gets published.
***You’re the one hung up on peer review. These guys are their peers. There is no such thing as a peer review when the science is new, we have all seen that happen with the hot fusion boys.

You may think that that is the general rule in the sciences, but it is not.
***It is the general rule in this science. Due to the hot fusion boys having someone invade their turf.

The American Physical Society maintains pretty high standards and when folks try to manipulate it, resignations happen, and resignations by people who have the respect of the general physics community.
***Then read up on the American Chemical Society compendiums in LENR.

None of the guys on the editorial board are folks that anyone would regard as just good solid capable physicists.
***I regard them as that. I regard the author as a solid capable physicist. Basically, the author and the peers engaged in review of this document all have higher capability as physicists than me or you.

Somewhat damning...
