This status records verification concerns and unresolved questions. It is not a legal finding and does not classify every journal in the publisher’s portfolio. Journal-level indexing, fees, peer review, ownership, and preservation should be checked separately.

Review conclusion

Scientific Archives operates an active open-access journal website and publishes a portfolio of medical and scientific titles. The public pages reviewed contain information about peer review, article processing charges and editorial policies. They also contain material points that an author should clarify before submitting or paying: inconsistent licensing descriptions, strong manuscript-withdrawal wording, changing address disclosures, and the need to verify indexing separately for each journal.

These observations justify enhanced due diligence. They do not, by themselves, prove that every Scientific Archives journal is predatory or that every article lacks peer review.

Evidence assessment and recommended author action

Claim area	Evidence checked	Current assessment	Recommended action
Article processing charges	Publisher fee and author-information pages	Public fee information is available; confirm the exact journal, article type, currency, waivers, taxes, and payment trigger.	Obtain a dated written quotation before submission.
Peer review	Publisher peer-review description and recent article records	A process is described, but the quality and duration must be assessed at journal and article level.	Compare received, revised, and accepted dates and ask how reviewers are selected.
Copyright and licensing	About and author-guideline pages	Different licensing descriptions require clarification.	Request the exact licence and copyright agreement that will govern the article.
Withdrawal terms	Author guidelines and withdrawal wording	The terms require careful contractual review before submission.	Save the applicable terms and obtain clarification about charges and publication rights.
Indexing and preservation	Journal pages and official third-party databases	Publisher-wide language is not proof of title-level coverage.	Verify the exact ISSN, coverage dates, and preservation record independently.

Assessments describe the public evidence available on the review date. A publisher can request correction by providing dated, independently verifiable documentation.

Points supporting a legitimate review

The website presents named journals, article archives, author instructions, fee pages and peer-review descriptions.
APCs are publicly listed rather than hidden until payment.
The publisher provides contact pages and journal-level information.
Some titles show multi-year publication archives and identifiable editors or authors.

Points requiring clarification

The About page describes CC BY-NC licensing, while the general author guidelines describe CC BY licensing. Authors should obtain the exact licence that will apply to their article.
The withdrawal policy states that authors are not allowed to withdraw without a penalty and includes wording claiming rights to publish without further approval. Authors should obtain contractual clarification before submission.
Different public pages display different office addresses. A changing address is not proof of misconduct, but legal entity and invoicing details should be confirmed.
Indexing should be verified title by title in the official database; a publisher-level statement or Google Scholar visibility is not equivalent to MEDLINE, PMC, Scopus or Web of Science coverage.

Example Scientific Archives journals to verify individually

The publisher’s current portfolio includes titles such as Journal of Cellular Immunology, Journal of Cancer Immunology, Journal of Experimental Neurology, Journal of Clinical Cardiology, Archives of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and Archives of Medical Case Reports. This page does not classify those titles individually. Authors should confirm the exact ISSN, publisher, archive, editorial board, fees and indexing record for the journal receiving the manuscript.

Author checks before submission

Ask for the exact copyright and Creative Commons licence in writing.
Save the APC, waiver, refund and withdrawal terms that apply on the submission date.
Verify the journal’s exact ISSN and coverage in official indexing databases.
Check recent articles for received, revised and accepted dates and evidence of substantive review.
Confirm the contracting legal entity, invoice address and dispute jurisdiction.
Ask which independent preservation service protects the journal archive.

Public sources reviewed

Source pages may change after the review date. Readers should preserve dated copies when a decision or dispute depends on the wording.
