What's frustrating about these low-tier, questionably reviewed journals like Elsevier's "Meta Gene" (CiteScore impact factor 1.4 for what that's worth, although I know that impact isn't everything) is that they are basically exactly the same as the "predatory journals" run by obscure publishers that the big publishers like Elsevier constantly are complaining about. The thing is, things like "Meta Gene" are far more dangerous because unlike the amateurish web sites that a typical indie "predatory journal" has, this being from Elsevier looks legit.
