## Peer review problems

[edit]

In March 2015 the publisher placed the journal on hold after a pattern of "inappropriate and compromised peer review" was uncovered.[8] Retraction Watch noted that the journal had retracted 16 articles in the preceding year that had been generated by the computer program SCIgen,[9][10] as well as a further paper for plagiarism,[11] although it was not stated whether these cases were related to the suspension.
