Criticism of peer-review and compilation practices
Librarians and scholarly-communication commentators criticized Nova for allegedly not applying academic peer review consistently across its publications. Critics also objected to the republication or compilation of public-domain book chapters and freely accessible government publications at prices they considered high. Beall’s List classified the publisher as a vanity press.
