Some ad's=20 > disguised as "reviews"=20 Hi all As a member of the team checking the quality of any article submitted to=20 our french Radio-REF journal before publishing, may I tell you that the=20 situation is the same in France ? Our team is trying to avoid any publication of mega-multi-button=20 advertisments disguised as "review", but it happens that such bullshit=20 is published from time to time, because the Editor has to (for financial=20 reasons, or only to have something to publish, or both ?) The real issue is that we, as a national ham association, don't receive=20 any serious technical stuff anymore. The remaining very rare really technical articles are published nowadays=20 in commercial revues (where the authors are paid for that, which is not=20 the case for our non benefit journal), or in "high tech" journals such=20 as QEX, VHF Comms, DUBUS, etc Volonteers belong more and more to endangered species ...
