Frontiers is really interesting to me, because some colleagues in other fields view their "version" of Frontiers In $Field as a meh journal of last resort, and I view Frontiers in Public Health as actively malign.
- pks016 1y agoSome Frontiers journals are good. You have to go look at individual paper on merit.
