Who Lives in the Biomed Nest?

Biomed Nest is "so much Enthusiastic." It wants "to bring out open Research." It has a long way to go.

No journals are listed on its website (4/18/19). Most links lead a page urging the viewer to "submit manuscript." Although there is a reference to "Biomed Research Nest" as a journal with "sections" such as "Enviroment," this journal does not seem to exist. But it will have two "special issues" -- one on cervical cancer (inasmuch as "The cervix is the narrow tube at the lower part of the uterus") and another on oral and dental research (because "Oral and Dental Health is a crucial part of our well being" and "Poor oral sanitation can lead to gum disease").

The positions held by the "Academic Editors" of the "Prestigious Editorial Board" are not listed, so I tried to check on a few. Amro M Ali is an instructor in the ophthalmology department of New York Medical College in Valhalla. Kameshwar R Ayasolla is not a researcher at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research. (At least, the Institute's website does not have his name on the list. However, he might have some other affiliation with this "research branch of the Northwell Health enterprise ... headquartered in Manhasset, NY," for the organization is composed of more than 1,500 clinicians, scientists and staff.")

The website also advertises two conferences as if they are inside the Nest. In fact, these Singapore conferences carry the name of the questionable conference organizer, Biomedical Conferences.

The domain biomednest.com was registered about two months ago by Domains By Proxy. The address of the nest is 17389 Nature Walk Trail Parker, CO 80134, where condominiums are located.
