    • Reason: Article was PRODded before (frankly for an invalid reason), so here we are. The article claims (and this is backed up by MIAR) that the journal is included in Scopus. However, searching "Scopus Preview" for the ISSN or journal title shows that this is incorrect. It also proudly proclaimed to be "supported by Publons" (I deleted that particular gem). Even if true (I didn't check), Publons also "supports" OMICS journals, so this is not directly a glowing recommendation. Other indexing services listed were completely routine (GScholar, DOAJ, etc). In conclusion, this is a non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet

    • Reason: This category purports to contain "staff, members of its Editorial Advisory Board, Trustees or frequent contributors". None of these, however, are defining characteristics. Editorial board members, for example, are only listed in an article on a journal in the extremely rare cases that there are reliable sources independent of the subject discussing their importance for that journal. Similarly, authors (no matter how notable they may be) are only included in a journal article in the even rarer case that there are independent sources attesting to the importance of an author for a journal. Conversely, I cannot even remember a single case where publishing in a certain journal was mentioned other than in passing in articles on academics. The only exception that I see are persons that have been editor-in-chief of a journal (which makes those individuals meet
