Proud to not be listed as having any incident of "coercive citations" in
the latest edition of Science despite close to 450 submissions
We have started doing press releases on accepted articles we believe
ofinterest to the general population. This has been a great success. Our
Authors have found their work discussed in major news outlet including US
