Analysis / Bias

Frontiers in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry is an open-access journal that publishes information and research related to children’s psychiatry. The journal primarily publishes research like this Early-life adversity and later-life mental health: A conditional process analysis of sense of coherence and resilience-related resources.

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 Child and Adolescent Psychiatry 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.
