I had asked for this discussion based on the fact that there is oil and gas industry climate denial literature that is apparently using a "peer review" model. I think it is important to be able to get the cross-section between the scholarly and peer review in order to weed out things of this nature that have figured out how to game the system. This was discovered when a student was sent to us by a professor for using non-scholarly material in a paper...and it was from the oil and gas industry trade magazines.
