Peer review fraud

edit

In 2014, SAGE Publications retracted 60 papers published in the journal due to a case of academic fraud, in which Peter Chen (National Pingtung University of Education, Taiwan) created false accounts in order to subvert the peer review process.[1] Ali H. Nayfeh, the editor-in-chief of the journal, retired from his academic post and resigned from his position with the journal following completion of the investigation.[2]

Abstracting and indexing

edit

The journal is abstracted and indexed in Scopus and the Science Citation Index Expanded. In 2014 the journal had its impact factor suppressed due to anomalous stacked citation patterns.[3] In 2016, the journal is included in the Journal Citation Reports and its impact factor becomes 1.643 [4]
