Nature libel verdict 'a victory for free speech'
Peer review claim raises questions about freedom of scientific debate, says journal's lawyer
"A theoretical physicist who sued the British science journal, Nature, had his case dismissed on Friday after a judge ruled that a news article that criticised him was responsible and honest journalism.
The news story in Nature described how Mohamed El Naschie, a former editor-in-chief of a journal called Chaos, Solitons and Fractals, penned a conspicuously large number of papers in his journal, many of which were considered by outside experts to be poor quality."
