Springer-Verlag is the second largest scientific publisher in the world. Until very recently, their "flagship multidisciplinary journal," covering all of the natural sciences, was Naturwissenschaften, founded in 1905 by a physicist.
Einstein published in Naturwissenschaften. As a multidisciplinary journal, they published papers that cross field boundaries, and cold fusion is such
a field. It's a chemistry experiment, using the tools of chemistry (not those of physics), but the apparent result is a nuclear reaction, traditionally the province of nuclear physics.
I'm mentioned on page 39 of the preprint.
Peters is correct. "Cold fusion" is not a "science," it is a popular term for a phenomenon. The science that has opened up out of the discovery announced in 1989 is not called "cold fusion." It is generally called Condensed Matter Nuclear Science, and it is still mostly a mystery. That review stands. It is merely the most notable of sixteen peer reviewed reviews of the field published in the last decade or so. There is a subpage of the Wikiversity resource that lists them, and most of them can be accessed on line. If anyone would like to study this field, explore it, criticize it, ask questions, etc., the Wikiversity resource is open for that purpose.
If this isn't science, we would appreciate correction. Maybe we will learn something.

Cold Fusion is not a science and it is obvious that Abd is fantasizing again just like on cold fusion.
