Mednansky Institute eJournal

MieJ policy:

The results of all Mednansky Institute (MI) research are published in MieJ or other peer-reviewed journals. In the event of external publication, MieJ posts reference of such work and how it relates to MI research work. MieJ or Minst.org eJournal shall be the preferred designations used to refer to works published herein. As example, - Diauxie Revisited: The Case of Fructose, MieJ, 1998, M. Crasnier-Mednansky - with link to [http://minst.org/ejournal_diauxie_revisited.htm].

MieJ is supported in part by federal government grants, private individual and corporate donations, and the charitable contribution of work by volunteers. Accordingly the knowledge gained by MI research work is drafted in standard report format and conveyed, without encumbrance, to the public for reading, analyzing, and commenting upon.

Research reports of work performed within MI are reviewed internally. The internal review process may require additional review from external scientists before publication in MieJ. All reviewers' comments are incorporated with the published report. Open peer review of MI research is invited and solicited by way of MieJ Reader Review Link. All comments and reviews that are scientifically sound, justified and accurate are, without concern for disparagement of the work, published alongside the work discussed. All reviews or comments are screened for relevancy and all reviewers' credentials are published.

It is the responsibility of all authors who publish in MieJ to keep their previously published work up to date. This means taking into account any future peer submissions that legitimately challenges their work and post responses to such challenge. Likewise it is also the responsibility of the author to keep informed of any externally published work that ignores or challenges data that is published in MieJ. In this case, the author is obligated to update the published work by way of an addendum that either refutes or acknowledges the external work.
