I disagree. PNAS has served well through the years as a platform for
timely and often controversial science, largely due to its publication
rules. If someone is deserving of membership in the National Academy,
they certainly can be trusted with editorial control over 24 pages a
year in a respected journal. I view it as a collective platform for
the scientific viewpoints of senior science, not as a traditional
journal.
