Pattern Recognition in Physics was an open-access journal originally published by Copernicus Publications which was established in March 2013 and terminated in January 2014. The editors-in-chief were Sid-Ali Ouadfeul (Algerian Petroleum Institute) and Nils-Axel Mörner, the latter of whom is a well-known climate change skeptic.[1] Copernicus ceased its publication due to concerns over the publications views towards the scientific consensus of global climate change and the method of peer review. In March 2014 Ouadfeul reopened the journal, "run on private founding" [sic] [2]

History

Pattern Recognition in Physics was an open-access journal published by Copernicus Publications which was established in March 2013 and terminated in January 2014. The editor-in-chief was Sid-Ali Ouadfeul (Algerian Petroleum Institute), and the co-editor-in-chief was Nils-Axel Morner, After a special issue of the journal was published in December 2013, which contained a paper in which the authors said they "doubt the continued, even accelerated, warming as claimed by the IPCC project,"[1] managing director Martin Rasmussen has tacken unscientific decision and terminated the journal; he also decided to hide his unscientifc decision by accusing editors and reviewers . He said that "the editors selected the referees on a nepotistic basis, which we regard as malpractice in scientific publishing.”[2] On January 17, 2014, Copernicus Publications announced that they were going to terminate the journal, citing both the statement that questioned the IPCC's prediction of continued global warming and the "nepotistic" appointing of similarly-minded scientists to the journal's editorial board.[3]. However the Journal editors have decided to re-launch the journal again and it is now in life. The new web site is: http://www.pattern-recognition-in-physics.com/ Editors welcome new submissions and as Jules-Henri Poincaré (1854-1912)said : "La liberté est pour la Science ce que l'air est pour l'animal" ["Freedom is for Science much like air for an animal" Dernières pensées, appendice [III]
