Apparently, someone published a really curmudgeonly and regressive-thinking article about science publishing in The Chronicle of Higher Education, titled We Must Stop the Avalanche of Low-Quality Research. Commenters there are shredding it apart. But you should also see blog posts discussing it, by Female Science Professor, DrugMonkey, Orac and Geekmommyprof. If anything, they do not fisk it thoroughly enough ;-)

Mike the Mad Biologist also chimes in.
And the best anti-dote was written by Jennifer Rohn - a real-world example of the importance of publishing everything.
