Blagosklonny held this position until 2009, when he was appointed professor of oncology at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.
[3] Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center lists Blagosklonny as holding "Adjunct Faculty" and "Cell Stress Biology" positions with them.
[8] In addition, he is associate editor of Cancer Biology & Therapy[9] and a member of the editorial board of Cell Death & Differentiation.
[10] The peer review process employed by Oncotarget has been criticized by Jeffrey Beall,[11] a university librarian and expert on predatory open access publishing, who also included Oncotarget and Aging on his list of "potential, possible, or probable predatory scholarly open-access journals"[12] in July 2015.
[11] Further reports on Beall's blog suggest that the substandard peer review processes for these journals are used by their respective editors-in-chief to entice prospective authors to include references to Blagosklonny's own publications in their articles (following the peer review), thereby raising his personal citation impact.
