Analysis / Bias
Innovation Journal is a hybrid (some open-access) journal that publishes information on innovations in science. The journal primarily publishes research such as this: A full solid-state conceptual magnetocaloric refrigerator based on hybrid regeneration.
Cell Press is an open-access/hybrid 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. The Innovation Journal is considered a legitimate, open-access publisher that is frequently indexed in PubMed. However, Cell Press has been criticized for retracting some studies.
Although Cell Press has retracted some studies in other publications, the Innovation Journal publishes credible scientific studies that are factual and appropriately peer-reviewed.
