Analysis / Bias
Adipocyte Journal is an open-access journal that publishes information and research related to Adipose Tissue. An example article is as follows: Pharmacological inhibition of SUMOylation with TAK-981 mimics genetic HypoSUMOylation in murine perigonadal white adipose tissue.
Taylor & Francis is an open-access publisher of scientific journals. There are two types of Open Access Journals, legitimate and predatory, both of which charge the author for publication. Predatory journals often lack peer review and are generally considered not credible. Taylor & Francis is considered a legitimate, open-access publisher that is frequently indexed in PubMed.
Although Taylor & Francis has retracted some studies in other publications that were found to be of poor methodology and not thoroughly peer-reviewed, Adipocyte Journal publishes credible scientific studies that are factual and appropriately peer-reviewed.
