From time to time, the editorial page will publish a dissenting opinion to a staff editorial, especially when the feelings among those at editorial board meetings are closely divided.

Though over a million manuscripts are published in journals yearly, many more are submitted and rejected. The gatekeepers of science—peer reviewers who are reputable scientists and well versed in a particular field—advise journal...
