oh brother! -_- I can;t believe they cited that post like that!
must be a student research project (I hope).
Cool PR though, I guess!

How did this get through peer review?
"Overall, challengingly, it is still unanswered whether or not chewing and handedness are similar?[29]"
Why didn't they cite the original studies?

I don't think it's a peer reviewed journal. Or at least not in the normal sense. My institution has a journal like that too for a physiology course
It's more about exposing students to the process rather than novel research, and while things like plagiarism are definitely not okay the rules for citation are a bit more relaxed than for a real journal

@Rawmouse I thought I would move the conversation away from [the Q](https://biology.stackexchange.com/questions/89304/is-there-a-way-for-me-to-create-my-own-cas9-plasmid-and-grna-plasmid#comment158486_89304) since discussion doesn't really work well in the comments.

As I read it. You want to do a CRISPR experiment just for the sake of it, but aren't sure where to start. Am I close?

@BryanKrause I've heard of these student-focussed peer-review journals. They sound like a great idea for learning about the process and getting some early recognition. But I have not heard of "bioimpacts". Is Bioimpacts actually one of those? It's published by Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, so it could be university oriented. However, at a glance its metrics seem fairly impactful, no?

@James I've also never heard of it; looking at the author list and the journal publisher (all authors from the university publishing the journal) I had assumed and didn't look further. Perhaps they publish a mix of work?
The quality of the work and the experimental methodology also suggested a student project to me (EMG being really easy to measure non-invasively, thats the same sort of thing that the physiology course here does, lets them have an easy blanket protocol for IRB)
Right down to the screenshots from the software program :)
