[ RadSafe ] This "radiation journal" that probably doesn't exist

Wed Apr 20 08:15:44 CDT 2011

This whole discussion has gotten quite unsavory when it moves off the scientific to the personal.  Should we now investigate Bjorn Cedervall's credentials, say his grades in graduate school, errors he has made in his work?  His personal life - divorces? This should all be taken offline and the snooping should be kept to a minimum.

The response from Univ. of Ulster was swift and I am perfectly satisfied with the answer ("Professor Chris Busby is a Visiting Professor..."). This probably expains why your name does not appear among the staff but that is OK with me.

Now the other question: The "European Journal of Biology and Bioelectromagnetics (EBAB)" - what about the status of this journal? Where is it and where can the corresponding papers be found (like the three in the ECRR book)? I have asked our university libraries previously and they didn't find the journal. Can one find some impact factor for instance? 

The journal used to be linked here:
http://www.cogreslab.co.uk/medcross.html
but the link doesn't seem to work any longer.
(back in the URL to see the money orientation)

Googling Dr Roger Coghill results in a number of strange hits - here is one:
http://www.thesynergycompany.com/superfood_article10.html
http://www.thesynergycompany.com/superfood_article3.html

It shouldn't come as a surprise if some people wonder about the charater of the EBAB journal as a paper (about melatonin) by Coghill appeared as a free sample issue. That paper was simply an indicator - then an Editorial Board with you at the same time as you had six or eight publications (including one with Coghill if I recall correctly) 

The Editorial Board was (is?) as follows:

Assoc. Prof. Olle Johansson
Prof. Henry Lai
Prof. Dr. Igor Jerman
Prof Dr Imants Detlavs
Dr Christopher Busby
Dr. Edouard David

And according to the sample paper page context: Dr Richard Nuccitelli.

These editors should be expected to cover the topics that appeared in the EBAB journal.

Where is all this information now? I have never before encountered a situation where "scientific papers" just disappear. Is it strange that one wonders? Please explain.

My personal reflections and initiative only,

Bjorn Cedervall

Peer reviewed by whom? I couldnt  say. They dont tell you.
I notice that you, Bjorn, have written to my university to ask them what my status is. They told you, Professor. What were you hoping for? 
That I was inventing it?
Sincerely
Chris
