The problem here that even if they "carefully review the submissions",
they are not able to repeat the syntheses, so the paper could be written
with professional language and fullfill all the formal requirements, but
the content is still not reliable and not reproducible. Unfortunately it
is not so rare event that you can not reproduce a literature procedure.

Best,
Ilya

Subject: ORGLIST: Bad Journals?

I have been told by many post-docs in my school that when doing
literature searches that there are many that should be regarded warily.
These include Tetrahedron, tetrahedron letters, synthesis, and others.
They say that these journals do not carefully review the submissions and
will publish more or less anything. And that the results are often
irrepreducible.

What do you all think about this? Are there others you would recommend
not putting much faith in?

Thanks,

Ken
