Reception

The peer review process employed by the journal has been criticized by Jeffrey Beall, a university librarian and expert on predatory 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 the University 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]
