Journal
Peer review is just a process and whether it is any good depends on the editors and reviewers. In the present case, the publisher has a reputation of weak (if any) peer review. However, this is rather irrelevant to the question of notability: journals with good, stringent peer review can still be non-notable. What clinches the deal here is that this journal is not indexed in any selective database and that there are no independent sources. The journal claims to be included in PubMed, which is correct, but that is only an access platform. PubMed includes all journals in MEDLINE (which is a selective database) AND those in PubMedCentral, which includes almost all OA journals in the life sciences (a notable exception being OMICS journals), and therefore is not selective at all. The current journal is in PubMed because as an OA journal it isin PMC, it is not in any of the more discerning databases to which PubMed is the access platform. In short, this journal misses WP:NJournals and WP:GNG by a mile. From Articles for deletion/Journal of Spine Surgery (2nd nomination).
