The October 2020 article suggesting that amulets may prevent COVID-19 [2] has been met with skepticism [3] even among the listed coauthors. [4] As of November 2020, the article was under "temporary removal". [2] It was later withdrawn at the request of the authors. [5] The editor in-chief, Damià Barceló, was implicated in a €70,000 per year scheme to publish articles under the affiliation of King Saud University, Saudi Arabia. [6] Such schemes are employed to boost a university's rankings and are considered unethical by academics. [7] [8]
