Comments for Scholarly Open Access

Ok, so this looks bogus, but lets not forget the conflict of interest inherent in “the legitimate Impact Factor published by Thomson Reuters”.

Anyone can get an ISSN.

Why do people never tell the names of the “good” journals “wrongly” in the list so others can evaluate for themselves?

Why are the guidelines in these two sites copied? http://isindexing.com/isi/selection.php
http://www.uifactor.org/EvaluationPolicy.aspx

Some of UIF is also plagiarized from Thomson Reuters as well.

Wow, I didn’t even know about that first one, International Scientific Indexing (ISI). The increasing amount of corruption in the realm of open-access journal publishing is just staggering. Thanks.

I wish I knew a good answer. For now, the only thing I can think of is to warn researchers about the questionable publishers and journals.

And another bogus metric! They are proliferating like crazy!

Dear Beall! Waiting for your opinion about the mention Journal. It will help us a lot in possible avoid of this journal.

hello

you are doing a wonderful job in trying to expose bogus journals. can you please verify for me this canadian journal: http://www.ccsenet.org/enrr.

i will be very grateful for your assistance

Thank manyanhaire Itai Offat (the Zimbabwe open University)

That journal is <em>Environment and Natural Resources Research</em>, published by the Canadian Center of Science and Education. This publisher is included on my list, so I recommend that you NOT submit papers to this journal.

What university did you attend? I think you should request a refund on your tuition.

What bogus journal are you associated with? Why are you afraid to use your full name?

Yes, I agree with Allion . Impact Factor is really not necessary for any Research Journal . This is a scam of Thomson Reuters .

Right, and speaking of scams, your name is not really David Gill.

This kind of reminds me of the Human Fund… “money for people.”

That’s a [...] IIFS. Look I found one German based IF calculating entity at http://journal-index.org/. It looks a cool competitor of Scopus and Thomson Reuters. I investigated that this operation is actually performed by WORLD MEDIA GROUP, LLC, USA. As this group is a huge one like Reuters, so i hope it will bring fruitful results to the market of Impact Factors.

‘Methology’ is, obviously, the study of meth.

‘Evalutaion’ is ionized Evalut, a component of meth.

And for those lacking the Irony Detection Gene, I’m making this up.

[…] previous blog post described a questionable new scholarly metric called International Impact Factor Services (IIFS). […]

few days back I checked site of DJQF, I was surprised by use of links given to various reputed organizations like Nobel prize forum and non Olympic sites as partner. But did not find any reference of DJQF on those sites.

I was invited to visit a conference organised by “European Society for Applied Sciences and Development” (www.europment.org).
A closer look reveals that it is closely related to wseas
just like NAUN
