In February 2013, Frontiers published a study by Stephan Lewandowsky and co-authors which analysed conspiracy theory explanations given in blog responses to an earlier paper about conspiracy theories and support for free-market economics as indicators of a climate change denial stance. In March 2014, Frontiers retracted the study, and made a statement that they had received "a small number of complaints". Their detailed investigation "did not identify any issues with the academic and ethical aspects of the study. It did, however, determine that the legal context is insufficiently clear and therefore Frontiers wishes to retract the published article." There were public concerns about the "chilling effect" of the decision on research. One of the reviewers of the paper said that the withdrawal was unwarranted, and she would no longer carry out reviews for the journal.^[6]^[7]{{citation needed|reason=Need RS|date=March 2016}} On 4 April 2014 Costanza Zucca, editorial director of the journal, and Fred Fenter, executive editor, issued a statement saying that Frontiers did not cave in to threats, and it in fact received no threats. The statement gave the main reason for retraction as insufficient protection for the rights of the studied subjects.^[8] There was public discussion about apparent contradictions between the statements issued by the journal. And the authors of the paper disputed points raised in the second statement.^[9]

Frontiers Media was included in Jeffrey Beall's list of "potential, possible, or probable predatory publishers" before Beall took the decision to shut down his website,^[10] though both COPE and OASPA have stated that they have no concerns with Frontiers' membership of their organizations.^[11]^[12]
