Journal of Vibration and Control
The Journal of Vibration and Control is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that covers all aspects of linear and nonlinear vibration phenomena and their control.The editors-in-chief are Mehdi Ahmadian (Virginia Tech), Fabio Casciati (University of Pavia), and Fabrizio Vestroni (Sapienza University of Rome).In 2014, SAGE Publications retracted 60 papers published in the journal due to a case of academic fraud, in which Peter Chen (National Pingtung University of Education, Taiwan) created false accounts in order to subvert the peer review process.[1] Ali H. Nayfeh, the editor-in-chief of the journal, retired from his academic post and resigned from his position with the journal following completion of the investigation.In 2014 the journal had its impact factor suppressed due to anomalous stacked citation patterns.
