Abstract

There has been very little written about the scientific referee system but a lot has been implied. It seems to be widely believed that the system works well, even though there are cases of disparate judgement. These however ~ usually explained away in an ad hoc fashion. We find that novelty is characteristically resisted by scientists and suggest reasons for this.
