Dear Paolo Pelini ,

Be careful with this journal. “Systematic Reviews in Pharmacy” https://www.sysrevpharm.org/ is discontinued in Scopus https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/19700201140 This is because:

-If you look at “Scopus content coverage” here https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/19700201140 it is clearly suspicious that they publish 1700 papers (while their average is 20 per year)

-A year ago, disturbing comments in SCImago started about this journal https://www.scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php?q=19700201140&tip=sid

-In the papers I checked the DOI does not seem to work (fake?)

So, it is a journal with issues.

Best regards.

PS. It used to be a pretty good journal published by Medknow Publications part of Wolters Kluwer's Health Division and is part of Wolters Kluwer India. It looks like it is now under new management (I see no relationship with Wolters Kluwer anymore).

This journal from India has been discontinued. You can refer here: https://www.resurchify.com/impact/details/19700201140

Dear Terence Tan ,

I like to add a warning: the website https://www.resurchify.com/ looks misleadingly trustworthy, but I see a number of disturbing things with this website. For example, in their list of journals https://www.resurchify.com/e/journal/all-categories/all-countries/all-years/page/1/ there are suspect ones like (just check a couple of pages):

-International Journal of Information Technology, Control and Automation https://www.resurchify.com/ed/ijitca-2021-international-journal-of-information-technology/10285 https://wireilla.com/ijitca/indexing.html is published by Wireilla Scientific Publications a publisher mentioned in the Beall’s list https://beallslist.net/

-Numerous journals like International Journal of Ad hoc, sensor & Ubiquitous Computing (IJASUC) are published by AIRCC Publishing Corporation which is mentioned in the Beall’s list https://beallslist.net/ as well

So, despite some interesting and seemingly genuine information they also are linked to less reputed journals and publishers. Combined with the misleading suggestion that they give impact factor info (while this is an estimate based on Scopus info) and the total absence of real contact information I do not trust this source.
