Medical Hypotheses is a not-conventionally-peer-reviewed[1] medical journal published by Elsevier. It was originally intended as a forum for unconventional ideas without the traditional filter of scientific peer review, "as long as (the ideas) are coherent and clearly expressed" in order to "foster the diversity and debate upon which the scientific process thrives."[2] The publication of papers on AIDS denialism[3][4][5] led to calls to remove it from PubMed, the United States National Library of Medicine online journal database.[4] Following the AIDS papers controversy, Elsevier forced a change in the journal's leadership. In June 2010, Elsevier announced that "submitted manuscripts will be reviewed by the Editor and external reviewers to ensure their scientific merit".[6]
According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2023 impact factor of 2.1.[7]

It's not a classical peer review system. I call it a Medical Hypotheses custom-made review system.
