Signed Peer Reviews as a Means to Improve Scholarly Publishing
Peer review is a necessary process with a long history of complaints, including over-solicitation of a small number of reviewers, delays, inadequate numbers of reviewers, and a lack of incentives to provide strong reviews or avoid reviews with little helpful information for the author. In the era of Web-based distribution of research, through working paper or project reports, anonymous peer reviews are much less likely. The Journal of Ocean and Coastal Economics will use signed peer reviews and an open communication process among authors, reviewers, and editors. This approach, to be developed over time, should lead to stronger communication of research results for the Journal\u27s readers.

Financialization, new investment funds, and weakened labour: the case of the UK
The chapter shows that the UK has the highest levels of PE, HF, and SWF activity in Europe. This is explained primarily by the permissive nature of UK financial and securities regulation and, to a lesser extent, of labour regulation. Fund activity grew significantly up to 2007 and then declined in the case of PE and HFs; since 2010, there has been a recovery in PE and HF activity. It is rare for NIFs to consult with labour before and during the acquisition process. NIF intervention and acquisition does create some turbulence in employment, with initial job loss, though also with later job creation. Evidence on the effect on industrial relations is limited, but suggests that in most cases NIFs do not make major changes. Since the recession there have been several high profile cases of PE having a negative effect on employment systems

Do Gamma-Ray Burst Sources Repeat?
The demonstration of repeated gamma-ray bursts from an individual source
would severely constrain burst source models. Recent reports (Quashnock and
Lamb 1993; Wang and Lingenfelter 1993) of evidence for repetition in the first
BATSE burst catalog have generated renewed interest in this issue. Here, we
analyze the angular distribution of 585 bursts of the second BATSE catalog
(Meegan et al. 1994). We search for evidence of burst recurrence using the
nearest and farthest neighbor statistic and the two-point angular correlation
function. We find the data to be consistent with the hypothesis that burst
sources do not repeat; however, a repeater fraction of up to about 20% of the
observed bursts cannot be excluded.Comment: ApJ Letters, in press, 13 pages, including three embedded figures.
