I'm just saying we cannot even get past the editors of proper journal and pre-print server arXiv for a proper review of the paper after many submissions, is it not a red flag?

Have you seen any USGS sponsored journal with special issue on earthquake prediction?

Have you have heard any earthquake early detection and prediction competition in the US, not unlike the yearly Computing in Cardiology (CINC) competition for the improvement of CVDs early detection and prediction?
