Upon seeing that Annex Publishers had deliberately poked the hornet's nest with their cheeky scholarlyoa.com HTTP redirect, I decided to sting them. A quick glance at their back catalogue revealed two papers containing 'unexplained remarkable similarities' to other cited sources, namely <a href="http://www.annexpublishers.com/full-text/JPDD/e202/Liposphere-a-versatile-controlled-release-carrier-for-hydrophobic-drugs.php" rel="nofollow">this</a> and <a href="http://annexpublishers.com/blog/molecular-mechanisms-of-mismatch-repair-genes-in-cancer-a-brief-review/" rel="nofollow">this</a>, the latter of which has already been taken down, the former ought to be.
Is this what they mean by 'radically novel science'? Why would authors choose a publisher that encourages hostile scrutiny of their papers by means of silly web gimmicks?
