Well, well! Please be careful. Who is to say what is 'obscure'. I
know people who call an article obscure when it is not published in
_their_ country and/or _their_ language.
And as far as 'refereed' or 'peer review' journals are concerned,
that is a very difficult subject. I have seen a lot of 'Bull' in peer
review journals and a lot of good material in non-peer review ones. I
do not want to generalise, but a lot of peer reviewers tend to do what the
editor wants or what they think the editor wants (by the way, I am a referee)
PS: I have got my asbestes suit on.
