@Thatsregrettab1 We responded in detail to your questions written using an LLM. You criticize others using an LLM. Why don't you follow the rules? Please ask your colleagues what selective targeting is. Regarding the 2019 post, please read our Editorial. This concludes our communication.

@OncotargetJrnl It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see problems with the references. Someone just has to care. “Its oncology hubs now extend to East Africa and conflict-affected regions in the Middle East [64, 65].” Brazil is not in East Africa or the Middle East.

New Oncotarget paper seems to have some problematic references... possibly due to LLM use. Don't they check for that? pubpeer.com/publications/7…

@Thatsregrettab1 The best response is to present numbers and scientific explanations, instead of constant communication on X. That is why we will continue to publish editorials on different topics in the publishing industry, including selective targeting.

@Thatsregrettab1 You use non-professional language and your posts reflect the disproportionate coverage of Oncotarget compared to other journals with greater integrity concerns. This is selective targeting, which is why you're blocked.

When Censorship of Science Sparks a Firestorm: A COVID-Vaccine–Cancer Review and the Backlash That Followed A review authored by Tufts and Brown researchers Dr. Charlotte Kuperwasser (@KUPERWASSERLAB) and Dr. Wafik S. El-Deiry (@weldeiry) and published in @Oncotarget examines the temporal relationship between COVID-19 vaccination and cancer. IMA Chief Scientific Officer @drpaulmarik1 breaks down the paper’s key findings, the cyberattack on the journal that followed, and how early suppression of the article ultimately amplified global awareness of its findings.
