The journal published legitimate Daoism research up to and including the beginning of this year, but since then it has published hundreds of articles unrelated to Daoism. The journal homepage still claims that it is published out of University of Hawaii Press and links to the volumes that contain legitimate articles. But visiting the archive reveals the irrelevant articles:
