Pan European Networks

Pan European Networks (PEN) is a marketing company per the European Commission.[1] They try to convince people that "publishing" with them is a way to reach European science leadership.[1] This however appears to be untrue and it is regarded as a non-credible source.[1] They started in 2012 and have offices in the United Kingdom and Brussels.[1]

Operations

The organization is known for making calls to researchers offering to publish their work but requesting an immediate commitment.[1] Initial proposed charges are around 10,000 USD for a publication but this appears to be negotiable.[1] There persistence has been described as harassment by Uppsala University. They have also threatened to sue those who criticize them.[1]

History

The company is owned by Darren Wilson.[1]
