Elsevier Life Science Customer Care has informed my library colleague that the content from HealthMED has been removed from Elsevier A&I databases (including EMBASE) due to the journal’s fraudulent practices, particularly mentioning the external evidence supporting the removal as Pero Šipka’s CEES paper “Legitimacy of citations in predatory publishing.” http://www.ceon.rs/ops/12122. Kudos to Pero Šipka, Jeffrey Beall, Elsevier and the library and research communities for bringing attention to predatory publishing practices and taking action to reduce their viability!
