Peer review problems

In March 2015 the publisher placed the journal on hold after a pattern of "inappropriate and compromised peer review" was uncovered.{{cite web |url=https://www.springer.com/us/about-springer/media/statements/cell-biochemistry-and-biophysics/52450 |title=Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics on hold |publisher=Springer Science+Business Media |date=13 March 2015 |accessdate=15 April 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150415132723/http://www.springer.com/us/about-springer/media/statements/cell-biochemistry-and-biophysics/52450 |archive-date=15 April 2015}} Retraction Watch noted that the journal had retracted 16 articles in the preceding year that had been generated by the computer program SCIgen,{{cite web |url=http://retractionwatch.com/2015/03/13/springer-journal-on-hold-for-pattern-of-inappropriate-and-compromised-peer-review/ |title=Updated: Springer journal on hold for "pattern of inappropriate and compromised peer review" |work=Retraction Watch |date=13 March 2015 |accessdate=15 April 2015}}{{cite web |url=http://retractionwatch.com/2014/02/24/springer-ieee-withdrawing-more-than-120-nonsense-papers/ |title=Springer, IEEE withdrawing more than 120 nonsense papers |work=Retraction Watch |date=24 February 2014 |accessdate=15 April 2015}} as well as a further paper for plagiarism,{{cite web |url=http://retractionwatch.com/2014/08/25/wasted-breath-cribbing-earns-retraction-of-anesthesia-paper/ |title=Wasted breath: Cribbing earns retraction of anesthesia paper |work=Retraction Watch |date=25 August 2014 |accessdate=15 April 2015}} although it was not stated whether these cases were related to the suspension.
