Frontiers Media was included in Jeffrey Beall's list of predatory publishers in 2016, though Beall deleted the entire Beall's List after Frontiers and others requested his employer open a misconduct case against him.{{cite news |title=Why Beall's blacklist of predatory journals died |author=Paul Basken |newspaper=University World News |date=22 September 2017 |url=http://www.universityworldnews.com/article.php?story=20170920150122306}} Among other practices, Frontiers sends out large numbers of unsolicited emails to scientists based on minimal criteria (submission of an abstract to a conference, for example) and then asks them to submit a journal article or even serve as an editor for the journal. {{cite news |last1=Basken |first1=Paul |title=Why Beall's List Died — and What It Left Unresolved About Open Access |url=https://www.chronicle.com/article/why-bealls-list-died-and-what-it-left-unresolved-about-open-access/ |access-date=2023-11-28 |publisher=The Chronicle of Higher Education |date=2017-09-12}}
