SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the validity of claims made by Kroll & Karplus regarding Quantum Electrodynamics and the credibility of the journal "Progress in Physics." Participants conclude that "Progress in Physics" is a predatory publisher, attempting to imitate the reputable journal "Reports on Progress in Physics." The lack of indexing in the Clarivate master journal list and absence of an impact factor further substantiate this claim. The forum emphasizes the unreliability of Vixra as a source, reinforcing the need for credible scientific references.
