[…] In a recent workshop in Erbil, Dr Jeffrey Beall gave a lecture about open access publishing and drew our attention to existence of hundreds of online publishers who promote themselves as prestigious academic publishers and invite scholars to submit articles to their journals.

Comment on What is the Real Motivation Behind the Islamic Science Citation Index? by Liam Mac Liam
That’s interesting about the impact of spelling and translation inconsistencies on rankings of Iranian institutions. Some internal research at Portuguese universities came to a similar conclusion and Portugal’s largest university (recently created by a merger of Lisbon’s classical and technical universities to achieve critical mass) has now instructed all its researchers to use “universidade de lisboa” as the standard affiliation.

I think your attitude is also like childish. My professor e-mail me your website link to see this website. I obsver that your attitude is not in the direction to improve the research. But it is in the direction to support the particular group of publishers. You only terrorize the publisher from developing countries.
