My daughter (who works for the Nature Publishing Group) sent me the following, which is worth reading for knowing the kind of journals Elsevier publishes. Follow the link to John Baez' blog (from which the comments are taken): http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/category/2008/11/the_case_of_m_s_el_naschie.html or just go directly there and save the middle man. I assume that this journal is indexed by ISI. Good grief, imagine that granting agencies are taking that crock of dung seriously.
