Figures & Tables

Figure 1:

Currently, JBUON lists an open-access article process charge of €520 (A), but until 2021, there had also been a “fast track service” for €1500 with an accept/reject decision within 15 days (B), but this was scrapped. Date of screenshots, under fair-use: January 15, 2022 (A); December 19, 2020 (B). Source: https://jbuon.com/how-to-submit/ (A, B), (B) accessible via the Internet Archive.

Figure 2:

PubMed only lists one affiliation for all JBUON papers (A), even if papers may carry multiple affiliations. Indicated is https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32862591/, which in fact has seven affiliations (B). The bibliometric information at PubMed is thus incomplete, and thus misleading.
