Med Journal is a hybrid (some open-access) journal that publishes information and research on Clinical Therapies. The journal primarily publishes research such as this: Organoid co-culture model of the human endometrium in a fully synthetic extracellular matrix enables the study of epithelial-stromal crosstalk.
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 Med 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, Med Journal publishes credible scientific studies that are factual and appropriately peer-reviewed.
