I never realised my editorials counted as research articles.  I need to update my CV with this “very effective and knowledgable” article, I suppose.

And in the area of “imaging and intervention radiology”, eh?  That doesn't seem to mesh with the journal name in the email header (or the content of the editorial itself, somewhat less surprisingly).  So, navigating to the “prestigious” Computer Reviews journal website, I see that

The mission of the Computer Reviews Journal is to share, develop, and facilitate the output of research paper about fundamental and applied for Computer Reviews Journal.

So that clears that up, then.

The hanging tile of Damocles has just been safely removed.  This has required the erection of significant infrastructure (which is also needed to replace and refix the other damaged and displaced tiles).
