The adjective “Wiley” usually means “smart or highly clever”. In this case, they became too clever for their own collective good.
A prime fraud-
Global warming/Climate Change — Trust the Science
Yikes....maybe Fauci IS the definition of science.
How many government decisions have been based on those 11,300 papers?
A promotion path for incompetent, poorly educated mediocre
people who are pretending to be "scientists." Mostly
foreign (non-American) people I bet from India, Pakistan
and China.
Needed a list of those journals.

They find such corruption and lying to by ego-syntonic (meaning OK and "good show").
They are not persons of a Biblical religion where lying and bearing false witness is a really bad sin that has consequences in the afterlife.
See the problem with the Kennedys and other idiots who opened the spigots letting these people in to America with their Rat-serving immigrant 'reform' in 1967 was that the new arrivals were different from those Christian and Jewish Europeans preceding them.
Emma Lazarus's "Huddled masses and wretched refuse" were God-fearing, Old and maybe also New Testament believing people who feared participating in corruption in any form. They weren't "wretched" only poor newbies.
We got a real problem now because every branch of our society, journal publishers now included, alas, are mixing in these dirtbag lying people with their decent people of the past who held editorial standards sacrosanct. Wiley by the way used to be one of publishing's keepers of the flame so to speak. Their math and physics texts were perfect and substantial, with a shelf life of 50 years or more. How disgraceful that they would have a cheesy division made up of lying moose limb editors and skank third world authors.
Even though many honorable academics are atheist or agnostic, they at least maintained scrupulous editorial standards, because anything else would be a damnable lie offensive to the Almighty, but also to their sacred cow of 'academic integrity'.
It makes a difference if you lie, though usually patients and others are not directly harmed. The devastating harm lies in youngsters realizing that in the so-called 'real world' lying is the way it is. It is horrible. It scandalizes. It it the way to turn the United States into Jamaica in only a few years.
I bet people on this site would go nuts in disbelief if they knew how many specialist journals there are on all topics in the world... Business, STEM, medicine, law, economics ---THAT is the real purpose of the First Amendment: to preserve this, mankind's thought and culture.
The First Amendment was NOT made so wankers can send each other dirty pictures online with impunity.
But if you pollute the truth that used to thrive in America with the lies of the rest of the world, you get what we are seeing now: Collapse of almost every system we have, in every discipline, field, profession, and school. From this will come buildings falling, jets crashing, stolen elections, Caligula-lite POTUSES like Biden, Obama, and Clinton, children arriving at adulthood as spoiled feral animals gravely hostile to everyone around them, and as ignorant as savages discovered in some remote tribal village in the Amazon.
In other worlds, chaos like ours.
Reform starts with turning away from all lies, big and small.
Last question: "You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its strength, how can it be made strong again?
Hint: It is done by something very hot, very incendiary, very dramatic and overwhelming, something burning that drives off all water and inert and impure things, and leaving just the salt again, strong and pure as before. As a chemical issue, this is the most likely way it is to be done. The parable is worth contemplating.
