Frontiers in Network Physiology

Open-access journal from Frontiers Media, covering physiology as a system of interacting networks rather than organ by organ. tubbs-mind-after-midnight-2022 is in volume 1 — the journal's founding volume, dated 2021 and with the paper itself published 3 March 2022.

Two things about the venue that bear on how this wiki reads the paper.

It publishes a "mini review" as an article type. That is what the Mind After Midnight paper is: a short synthesis with no new data. The label is accurate and the journal applies it; every downstream retelling this corpus has seen drops it, which is where "scientists warn" comes from.

Frontiers' peer review is contested. The publisher's model has drawn sustained criticism over review standards and acceptance rates. This wiki does not resolve that argument, and it does not need to here — the paper states its own evidence gaps more bluntly than a reviewer would have forced it to. But a T1 on a Frontiers paper is a claim about this paper, not a blanket one about the venue.

The spoke's second peer-reviewed venue node, after advances-in-experimental-medicine-and-biology, and the first journal proper.

Cited wrongly downstream: mind-after-midnight-sciencealert calls it Frontiers in Network Psychology twice. Physiology.
