and, and, and, - how about adding the names of the reviewers **on**
the journal article as well (replace a dissenting reviewer by the
journal editor when a split decision is over-ruled).
This would likely insure *better* reviews as well as give credit
to those who perform such thankless tasks as journal reviews.
