I’m a current highschool research doing genetics research on genetic markers. I’m using some Frontiers Journals and I want to the reliability of it as well as the data in the research becasue I would also like to use that. If any responding people work in the genetics field (professors or currently employed by a genetics lab) please reach out because I significantly need help.

IMHO Frontiers are not much different from Elsevier, Nature Springer, BMC and other “respected” publishers. All of them send “cold” emails and try to have the journal for each topic possible. Many compare Frontiers with MDPI, but Frontiers are more vigorous regarding the review process. At least, all the papers that I reject for Frontiers were actually rejected, while MDPI just publish rejected papers. Of course there are some papers with AI bullshit that were published in the Frontiers, but there are similar cases with Springer Nature, Elsevier and others.
