If you share that opinion, do you have a solution?&#8221; by Clay Barnard.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nRoy Glauber, Nobel Laureate in Physics 2005: The current system is pretty poor. So now it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not a question of spending a lot of money, as it can be resolved very easily without. Good papers last and bad papers don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t. Individuals should rate the papers, although this may not need to be done in an official way.<br \/>\nSir John Walker, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, 1997: The peer review system does have problems, but it is the best we have got and I am very much opposed to replacing it with a numerical assessment system. It is a lousy way of assessing people and the pressure to change this system comes from science bureaucrats. This is because it is scientsists making decisions about scientists\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 work and the bureaucrats don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like that; they want to have control.<br \/>\nJean-Marie Lehn, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, 1987: That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an interesting question! I have been interested in it for a very long time. I think we need to have a control otherwise things get in the literature that should not be there &#8230;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"bottom-note\">\n  <span class=\"mod1\">CC-BY-NC Science Surf , accessed 10.04.2026<\/span>\n <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the Lindau Nobel site we can submit questions to Nobel prize winners.
