Pan European Networks (PEN) is a
marketing company.[1] They try to convince people that "publishing" with them is a way to reach European science leadership.[1] This however appears to be untrue and it is regarded as a non-credible source.[1] They started in 2012 and have offices in the United Kingdom and Brussels.[1]
Operations
The organization is known for making calls to researchers offering to publish their work but requesting an immediate commitment.[1] Initial proposed charges are around 10,000 USD for a publication but this appears to be negotiable.[1] Their persistence has been described as harassment by Uppsala University.[1] They have also threatened to sue those who criticize them.[1] They published a magazine called Scitech Europa Quarterly and Health Europa Quarterly among others.[1]
History
The company is owned by Darren Wilson.[1]
