Line 31:
Copernicus agreed to publish the journal because the editors claimed that its aim would be "to publish articles about patterns recognized in the full spectrum of physical disciplines rather than to focus on climate-research-related topics."<ref name=SI/> Concerns regarding the journal's [[peer-review]] process were first raised in July 2013 by [[Jeffrey Beall]], an American librarian and critic of [[predatory open access publishing]]. Beall wrote on his blog that Mörner did not appear to be a specialist in pattern recognition and that Ouadfeul's research had "only been cited a couple times." He also noted that two of the journal's first five articles were authored by Ouadfeul himself, and concluded that "This is not a good start for a journal, and the publisher ought to be concerned and take action."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://scholarlyoa.com/2013/07/16/recognizing-a-pattern-of-problems-in-pattern-recognition-in-physics/ |title=Recognizing a Pattern of Problems in "Pattern Recognition in Physics" |work=Scholarlyoa.com |date=16 July 2013 |access-date=11 February 2014 |author=Beall, Jeffrey |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222133717/http://scholarlyoa.com/2013/07/16/recognizing-a-pattern-of-problems-in-pattern-recognition-in-physics/ |archive-date=22 February 2014 }}</ref>
After a special issue of the journal was published in December 2013, which contained a paper in which the authors said they "doubt the continued, even accelerated, warming as claimed by the IPCC project,"<ref>{{cite journal |url=http://www.pattern-recogn-phys.net/1/205/2013/prp-1-205-2013.pdf |title=General conclusions regarding the planetary–solar–terrestrial interaction |author=Mörner, Nils-Axel |journal=Pattern Recognition in Physics |date=December 2013 |volume=1 |issue=1 |pages=205–206|doi=10.5194/prp-1-205-2013 |bibcode=2013PRP.....1..205M |doi-access=free }}</ref> Copernicus managing director Martin Rasmussen expressed concern regarding this journal.
