I'd not heard of Richard Smith either until a week ago when he wrote
this blog at the BMJ:
http://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2012/06/28/richard-smith-a-bad-bad-week-for-access/
and then this one:
http://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2012/07/03/richard-smith-medical-journals-a-gaggle-of-golden-geese/

Some excellent, hard-hitting stuff.
