Dear Annette,
Interesting question. At one point, I think that Jeffrey Beall (author of the
list of predatory publishers and journals) raised some red flags about
Frontiers, to which they protested vehemently.
I have downloaded quite a few papers and have found the quality to vary. There
are some interesting well-written articles and there are some poorly-written
ones. Indeed, one was so bad that I wrote to the editors (they always list the
names of editors and referees for each paper). The reply indicated agreement
with my assessment, with a promise to look into procedures.
One thing is clear: they have high publication charges.
Sincerely,
Stuart

Do tipsters know of any evaluations of the quality of publications in this
journal?
Is this one of those new journals that publishes anything submitted, within
reason, as long as the author pays the fees?
