My apologies -- I should have clarified that some of the authors look like researchers that have a history of participation in research related to LENR. I guess that is relevant because it means that the article could just as well have been published in JCMNS (although the article also made it through mainstream peer review, which is something going for it). Whether what they're looking at is LENR-proper, this will no doubt depend upon the theory one goes by, although I don't have much of an opinion in this case.
