Latest review

Overall rating: 3 (good). Outcome: Accepted (im.).

Motivation:
I did not even send my manuscript to Tribology and Lubrication Technology. Editors themselves selected my 1999 article from Tribology Transactions and reprinted it in 2011. They did not even ask for my consent, which would be quite OK, except that they accidentally erased one of my figures and inserted another figure twice instead.
