"LA FUSIONE FREDDA ITALIANA FUNZIONA".
NUOVO TEST INDIPENDENTE PER E-CAT
Primi risultati sul dispositivo prodotto dall'ingegnere italiano Andrea Rossi sembrano verificarne il funzionamento escludendo reazioni termochimiche. Il giornale finanziario Forbes si sbilancia: "Il mondo potrebbe cambiare", ma l'ambiente scientifico è cauto: mancano i dati sulla produzione di rame e sul catalizzatore. E soprattutto la peer review#http://www.repubblica.it/scienze/2013/05/22/news/forbes_la_fusione_fredda_italiana_funziona_da_test_indipendenti_ok_all_e-cat-59379551/^

Dear Paolo,
I read the article on Repubblica, is sincere and honest, but contains some imprecision:
1- the peer reviewing has been done. Read more carefully the report . Arxiv has anyway a peer reviewing ( a publication must be examined by at least one of the competent of the art that is well known by the Arxiv commettee: try to publish a bad article on Arxiv and you will understand that I am right); secondly, to be published in a cartaceous peer reviewed magazine takes many months, so the Examiners decided to anticipate the publication on Arxiv, pending a publication on another peer reviewed magazine. By the way, the report has been peer reviewed by the list of Professors you find in the acknowledgements, not to mention the fact that when a paper is signed by many Professors of international Universities, there is also an automatic peer reviewing made among the same Authors of the same report. It is more difficult that 7 Authors make mistakes than 1 Author , isn’t it? Also: the Report is 30 pages, and is impossible to publish 30 pages in a normal magazine, therefore by necessity the report will have to be reduced to be published in a normal magazine: for this reason Arxiv has been chosen by the examiners for the first publication.
2- the description of the process has been described uncorrectly, but I understand that for a non expert is difficult to write in few lines an abstract of 30 pages of report.
In conclusion, the journalist of Repubblica has made honestly and sincerely the job.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
