Climate Research (journal)
Climate Research is a journal which had "a very clear gap in credibility during the years 1997-2003"[1]; half of its editors resigned over poor quality control in mid-2003.[2]
"The skeptics' greatest and most-often cited (by them) "peer-reviewed studies" appeared in the journal Climate Research between 1997-2003. This journal has been considered credible at certain points in its history, and many fine papers have appeared there."[1]
"But according to ... [an] analysis of the papers published in Climate Research, there is a very clear gap in credibility during the years 1997-2003 when Chris de Freitas served as one of the journal's editors. During this time, de Freitas oversaw the publication of 14 papers from notorious skeptics - half of them authored by fossil fuel industry pal Pat Michaels - many of which would not have survived rigorous and honest peer review at any other credible journal."

In all these cases, de Freitas had had editorial responsibility.”
