Controversies

[edit | edit source]

The October 2020 article suggesting that amulets may prevent COVID-19[1] has been met with skepticism[2] even among the listed coauthors.[3] As of November 2020, the article was under "temporary removal".[1] It was later withdrawn at the request of the authors.[4] The editor in-chief, Damià Barceló, was implicated in a €70,000 per year scheme to publish articles under the affiliation of King Saud University, Saudi Arabia.[5] Such schemes are employed to boost a university's rankings and are universally considered unethical by academics.[6][7]
