Open Access and Post Publication Peer Review

Matthieu just sent me the following:

Dear Igor,
I found a nice video about Open Access Publishing on PhdComics (http://www.phdcomics.com/comics.php?n=1533). At the end, it provides a link to the 6th Open Access Week (http://www.openaccessweek.org/), which is described as:

I think it might be of interest for your Nuit Blanche readers following the Post Peer-Review discussion.
Best Regards, 

 A global event, now in its 6th year, promoting Open Access as a new norm in scholarship and research.

The post peer-review discussion and open access certainly are dealing with similar issues. Open Access could enable enterprising minds to set up a post peer review process. However most current versions of open access journals currently still rely on pre-publication peer review which is the crux of the assumption we are questioning. In short, the value of a paper is not in the quality of the journal or the very few and possibility uninformed gate-keepers, it is about how that work stands the unrelenting scrutiny of time. Thanks Matthieu.
