Publication in a Peer-reviewed Civil Engineering Journal!

Finally! After submitting a half-dozen papers to established peer-reviewed technical journals over a period of nearly a year, we have two papers which have passed peer-review and have been accepted for publication. One of these was published TODAY! In science, we say that we have “published in the literature,” a major step in a nascent line of scientific inquiry.

<snip>
The paper is here:
http://www.bentham.org/open/index.htm (our paper is listed on top at the moment, the most recently entered paper); or go here:
http://www.bentham.org/open/tociej/openaccess2.htm
(Click on “year 2008” then scroll down to the paper and click on it.)

<snip>
With publication in an established civil engineering journal, the discussion has reached a new level – JREF’ers and others may attack, but unless they can also get published in a peer-reviewed journal, those attacks do not carry nearly the weight of a peer-reviewed paper. It may be that debunkers will try to avoid the fourteen issues we raise in the Letter, by attacking the author(s) or even the journal rather than addressing the science – that would not surprise me.

<snip>
Finally, I should note that the editor that we worked with was polite and professional throughout the process. We hope others, in their responses, will maintain that decorum. In the final analysis, all THREE reviewers approved publication!

Time to celebrate, and move forward together.

3. thanks for posting, Twist. n/t

4. Don't you mean thanks to me? Since I'm the one that posted it first?

No, of course not. Why pay attention to the rules here at DU or anything?

:rofl:

5. Nope

you put a negative spin on it, whereas Twist has placed a positive spin on it. Negativity is such a downer and, IMO, does not deserve gratitude.

6. Tell me your positive opinion of George W. Bush. n/t

[nebula]

7. He will be out of office by January.

...and hopefully behind bars.

8. Is your name Hope2006?

Are you the one making foolish aspirations about "negativity"?

No, you're being negative about Bush. You're hoping he's behind bars. Evidently something so negative for him you see as a positive. Pointing out the negative aspects of this crappy piece of paper is something I see as a positive. It helps keep people from going down the long dark dead end of conspiracism. Positive!

10. America would be dancing in the streets

...with Bush and Cheney behind bars.

a VERY positive thing for every American who believes in the Constitution and the rule of law.

16. Exactly. Phillip Zelikow agrees wholeheartedly! n/t

17. Bush hopefully has taught our country an important lesson about how fragile our freedoms are

and about the importance of the rule of law.

11. Huh?

When was the last time you posted something negative about GWB? I sure don't remember seeing any such posts.

Or, are you comparing Steven Jones to Bush?

Very strange post.

On a positive note, there are only 275 days until Bush is out of office. THAT is a cause for celebration.

[Bolo Boffin]

12. Steven Jones and George Bush have very similar political views.

Did you know Steven Jones was a hard core right winger? It's true! Did you know that he fancies himself fulfilling the Mormon prophecy of rescuing the Constitution that's hanging by a thread?

The "very strange post" is strange to you because your nattering about "negativity" is just so much bullshit. It's a absurd rationalization.

14. Whatever you say, Bolo. n/t

[Twist_U_Up]

13. Your Welcome, Positive outlooks give us Hope.

;-)

15. Yes they do, Twist. n/t
