Indeed, if we take into account the information of Wikipedia, we learn this:
"It was established in April 2003 and its subject matter almost immediately dismissed in The Lancet Neurology as" wild invention "and" claptrap ". It is an abstracted and indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded"
[...]
NeuroQuantology has been listed as "Level 0" since 2008, which means that it is not considered scientific and therefore does not fulfill the requirements of the journal.
[...]
Neither the Editorial Board or Advisory Board at NeuroQuantology contains the following working scientists in the fields of quantum physics or neurology. "

In fact, the journals guide does not mention any information about it, and says "This journal is included in the JournalGuide whitelist of reputable titles":
https://www.journalguide.com/journals/neuroquantology-an-interdisciplinary-journal-of-neuroscience-and-quantum-physics
HOWEVER, according to this source, he has an ISSN:
https://www.scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php?q=11600154151&tip=sid
I would like to know if this journal is reliable.

The Advisory and Editorial Board lists individuals;
- who cannot be found in the departments/schools to which they are claimed to belong: Alfredo Pereira, Burak Erdeniz, Attila Grandpierre, Donald Mender, Michael B. Mensky, Subhash Kak;

- who belong to departments that don’t seem to exist. Gustav Bernroider is an example. Here are all the departments of the University of Salzburg (as you can see there is no department of Ecology and Evolution). Here are all the departments in the Faculty of Natural Sciences (all links take you to the respective departments where you can find a list of members in that department, EXCEPT Ecology and Evolution which has only a link to a botanical garden);
- who seem to be “free-lance researchers:” Fred H. Thaheld, who appears to be a mechanical engineer (also see here) and Greg P. Hodes, who simply holds a PhD (in philosophy) from University of Kansas.
Not a single member of the Advisory and Editorial Board of NeuroQuantology has a background in neurology or quantum physics, the two main fields in which NeuroQuantology claims to publish...
