So... it was published in a "peer-reviewed journal", but it wasn't actually peer-reviewed.
It was peer-reviewed: From
Intelligent design study appears:
quote:
Richard Sternberg, a staff scientist at the National Center for Biotechnology Information who was an editor of the Proceedings at the time, told The Scientist via E-mail that the three peer reviewers of the paper "all hold faculty positions in biological disciplines at prominent universities and research institutions, one at an Ivy League university, one at a major US public university, and another at a major overseas research institute."
"The reviewers did not necessarily agree with Dr. Meyer's arguments but all found the paper meritorious, warranting publication," Sternberg said.
It was not reviewed by any
associate editor, as it should have been according to the journal's standards. The identities of the reviewers and the nature of any comments has not been disclosed.
The entire affair has been beaten to death in the blogosphere, most notably at
The Panda's Thumb. There's a great list of links, arranged chronologiczlly, at
The "Meyer 2004" Medley.
