| The idea for this journal was taken somewhat critically when Morner and Ouadfeul first proposed it, but Copernicus eventually decided to publish it because the editors claimed that the journal's aim would be "to publish articles about patterns recognized in the full spectrum of physical disciplines rather than to focus on climate-research-related topics."<ref name=SI/> Concerns regarding the journal's ] process were first raised in July 2013 by ], an American librarian and well-known critic of ]. Beall wrote on his blog that Ouadfeul's research has "only been cited a couple times," and went on to accuse him of self-plagiarizing from a book he had written in 2012, entitled "Wavelet Transforms and Their Recent Applications in Biology and Geoscience." Beall concluded that "This is not a good start for a journal, and the publisher ought to be concerned and take action."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://scholarlyoa.com/2013/07/16/recognizing-a-pattern-of-problems-in-pattern-recognition-in-physics/ |title=Recognizing a Pattern of Problems in “Pattern Recognition in Physics” |work=Scholarlyoa.com |date=16 July 2013 |accessdate=11 February 2014 |author=Beall, Jeffrey}}</ref> | |||

Pattern Recognition in Physics was an open-access journal published by Copernicus Publications which was established in March 2013 and terminated in January 2014. The editors-in-chief were Sid-Ali Ouadfeul (Algerian Petroleum Institute) and Nils-Axel Morner, the latter of whom is a well-known climate change skeptic.
Controversy
After a special issue of the journal was published in December 2013, which contained a paper in which the authors said they "doubt the continued, even accelerated, warming as claimed by the IPCC project," managing director Martin Rasmussen expressed concern regarding this journal; he also said that "the editors selected the referees on a nepotistic basis, which we regard as malpractice in scientific publishing.” On January 17, 2014, Copernicus Publications announced that they were terminating the journal, citing both the statement that questioned the IPCC's prediction of continued global warming and the "nepotistic" appointing of similarly-minded scientists to the journal's editorial board. They also said that they "wish to distance ourselves from the apparent misuse of the originally agreed aims & scope of the journal as well as the malpractice regarding the review process."
