Analysis / Bias
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine is an open-access journal that publishes information and research related to Cardiovascular Medicine. The journal primarily publishes research like this Trends in unhealthy lifestyle factors in US NHANES respondents with cardiovascular disease for the period between 1999 and 2018.
Frontiers Media has been criticized for being a predatory open-access publisher. In short, Predatory Open Access publishing is an exploitative open-access publishing business model that involves charging publication fees to authors without providing the editorial and publishing services associated with legitimate journals.
However, Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine is a credible scientific journal, as we have not found any controversy or significant retractions. Although, Frontiers Media has retracted some studies in other publications that were found to be of poor methodology and not thoroughly peer-reviewed.
