We do not know anything of the sort. I am an academic in Islamic/Middle East Studies. The journal is not of academic standard, but it regularly publishes excellent and informative articles. Its drawback is to be right-wing in orientation, but most general magazines of this kind have either right or left orientation, and I don't see why that should necessarily make it of 'poor standing'. I'd like to know who regards it as that. I don't like everything in it, but many of the articles are by academics of high standing. That should be the basis for criticism, not some unsubstantiated accusation. It serves a purpose, is for the most part reliable, and makes an adequate source of reference.
