Reception

The reviewing process employed by the journal has been criticized by Jeffrey Beall,[4] who also included the journal on his list of "potential, possible, or probable predatory scholarly open-access journals"[5] in July 2015.[4] It has been alleged that the editor-in-chief, Mikhail Blagosklonny, systematically games the impact factor by requiring authors to provide gratuitous references to other recent papers in the journal.[6]

According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2016 impact factor of 5.168.[7]
