For fricks sake. At least pull data from an actual Journal. This is just a pay to publish bullshite.

You know the journal is garbage when they have this statement.

quote:

Cureus does not consider impact factor to be a reliable or useful metric of individual article importance. Cureus is a signer of DORA – the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment – and does not promote the use of journal impact factors. We instead use article-level metrics such as reads, downloads and citations. Cureus also encourages all readers to submit an SIQ (Scholarly Impact Quotient) score for each article. SIQ is our unique post-publication peer review system that assesses article importance and quality by embracing the collective intelligence of the Cureus community-at-large. The following stats are from the prior six months. Averages are displayed for monthly reads, submission to publication time, and accepted articles published for free.

Are we to glean from this quote that the journal judges the quality of articles not by validation or peer review, but from the number of clicks and shares and positive reviews on the internet? Is that what this means?

I searched "is cureus peer reviewed"

Everything returned that they are, in fact, a peer reviewed and respected journal.

I don't trust the science, because I trust "the science"
