J'ai toujours été un observateur sans avis précis du groupe Frontiers, mais dubitatif. Jeffrey Beall classait Frontiers parmi les revues prédatrices, ce qui lui a valu des critiques acerbes. Il faut convenir du fait que les revues prestigieuses n'envoient pas des spams pour draguer des auteurs. Cette pratique est celle des revues prédatrices. Mais alors, pourquoi Frontiers envoie des emails du type de celui que j'ai reçu ? A la différence des revues prédatrices, Frontiers affiche une vraie adresse postale... Jugez :
Dear Dr. Maisonneuve,
I am wondering if you received our earlier email?
I would love to discuss new developments in your field, and whether there would be an opportunity to create an editorial project around this (called Research Topics).
Please do let me know if you are interested, I look forward to learning what themes you would suggest for an article collection at Frontiers.
Best regards,
Kirsten Martin
