Is a request to publish an article in Research Features a scam? I regularly receive emails from Open Access predatory journals or conferences asking me to publish an article or attend some kind of conference somewhere. Usually, those emails are easy to identify.
Recently, I received an email from a Journal called Research Features, inviting me to publish an article in their journal which focuses more on outreach if I understand them correctly.
Does anybody have any experience with this (or a similar) journal, is this a serious thing?
Research Features is a UK-based magazine intended for a broad audience (outreach), it is not a peer-reviewed academic journal.

So in one sense it is legitimate: it's a real magazine with real contributors that some people genuinely read. You can contribute a piece if you so wish to.

I do not think it claims to be a journal.


  "We are not a scholarly publisher. We sit somewhere in the middle and
  feel very comfortable in our unique space. We will never engage in
  ‘click-bait’ or ‘tabloid’ pop-science; but we do not offer complex
  peer-reviewed content. Our publication offers detailed insight using
  clear language and a visual format which translates complex science,
  whilst remaining respectful."
