Summary:
- The article discusses the decision by Web of Science, a leading citation indexing service, to put two "mega-journals" - Cureus and Heliyon - on hold, meaning they will not be indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection.
- Mega-journals are open-access journals that publish a large volume of articles across a broad range of scientific disciplines, often with less rigorous peer review processes compared to traditional journals.
- The decision to put Cureus and Heliyon on hold raises concerns about the quality and integrity of the research published in these journals, as Web of Science's actions suggest potential issues with their editorial and peer review practices.
