It has an impact factor higher than JF, RFS, and JFE. Clearly something fraudulent going on.
The publisher Elsevier is part of a publicly traded company. I cannot believe that let this type of fraud take place.They are basically just approaching the journal game from a strategic perspective.
Short article > more likely to be read and thus cited
Quick turnaround > more likely to attract submissions on hot/current issues
Hot/current issues > more likely to be cited by others in top journals who do it thoroughly in 2-3 years as you have to cite everything these days or get called on for itIt's basically taxis in 2012 complaining about uber when taxis provide shitty service and fail to understand why people choose to take an uber.

^ we all know what fast publications by low quality scholars equates to. Total rubbish. As a referee at good journals, if I catch anyone citing a paper there, I will ask them to take it out.
Let's be honest, work in top journals is total rubbish, it just looks like overly rigorous total rubbish. We aren't curing cancer, we are basically running regressions that have 0 impact on anybody besides our little club of people who care.

Always the excuse of fraudsters: “It’s not like we’re curing cancer.” You sir are morally bankrupt.
