Abstracting and indexing
editThe journal is abstracted and indexed in Current Contents/Physical, Chemical & Earth Sciences,[1] Science Citation Index Expanded,[1] and Scopus.[2] According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2020 impact factor of 3.560.[3] Frontiers Media was included in Jeffrey Beall's list of predatory publishers in 2016, though Beall deleted the entire Beall's List after Frontiers and others requested his employer open a misconduct case against him.[4] Among other practices, Frontiers sends out large numbers of unsolicited emails to scientists based on minimal criteria (submission of an abstract to a conference, for example) and then asks them to submit a journal article or even serve as an editor for the journal.
