"I want to assure our authors, editors, and customers that the integrity of our peer reviewed research journals has not been compromised in any way.

These products are produced for pharmaceutical companies and serve a valid and useful educational and marketing purpose for these companies.

An additional 13 'Australasian Journal of' titles were registered to obtain International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) numbers, but were never printed.
