I took a course about a year and a half ago on Science & Technology policy, and we actually had a couple of lectures about publishing, academic funding, and the peer review process. Some of the issues that were discussed were the lack of an overarching guideline for reviewers, politics and cronyism, and the desire to publish articles that are "sexy" or easy to peddle. Do those sound about right?
