Is the Continued Claim of Indexing in Publons by Journals a Predatory Publishing Characteristic?

Abstract:
A recent article by Mathew et al. (2022) in this journal debates the important issue of honest versus predatory radiology journals. In this letter, I expand the debate by Mathew et al. (2022), focusing on the now-defunct peer reviewer rewards platform, Publons, which was phased out in 2022, but continues to be advertised as a journal's indexing location by a radiology journal of a known predatory publisher, OMICS. In 2023, can the claim of being indexed at Publons, or partnering with Publons for peer reviewer rewards be a potential predatory fingerprint?
