Any one know anything about this Journal for Fusion Energy? Does it have a reputation for catering to crackpots?

Journal for Fusion Energy

There seem to be a few hard science articles mixed in with some odd pieces. Don't know if they are still publishing (it's expensive to print a science journal that no one reads,) but the Journal of Fusion Energy is not as rigorous as ordinary physics hournals.

Before we go calling people crackpots we might want to do a simple Google search for publications.

Here's is a link to The Journal of Fusion Energy.

Its Editorial Staff appears to be made up of some folks who are at least conversant with the topic.

It doesn't appear to be devoted to a whole lot of really hard-core stuff.

[Doctor Stochastic]

It does.
