Reception

[edit]

The peer review process employed by the journal has been criticized byJeffrey Beall,a university librarian and expert onpredatory open access publishing,who also included the journal and its publisher on his list of "potential, possible, or probable predatory scholarly open-access journals" in July 2015.[8][9]Allegedly, journal editor Mikhail Blagosklonny responded by threatening to retract the papers of Beall's colleagues at theUniversity of Colorado.[10]It has been alleged that the journal has gamed their impact factor by requiring authors to provide references to other recent papers in the journal and does not conduct adequate peer-reviews of articles.[11]
