The only difference is .org instead of ,waw.pl in the url address. When typed the name in Google, although , the first URL position is of actual journal rest is a false history.
In these situations how one can be so cautious and the paper may be avoided to submit. My question still remains same as what will happen to the papers published in false journals although work legitimize and what about those papers which are getting citations although work may be false indeed in good journals…

Comment on Counterfeit Impact Factors are Devaluing the Real One by Jeroen Bosman
What I meant is a list of journals that currently have an impact factor. That is not the same as journals indexed in SCI, SSCI or SCI-E.

Jeroen, although not exactly what you are asking for, I have found the SCIMAGO lists useful:

Its whoisguard protected. However the scammers breached whoisguard’s TOS, according to which they may disclose the protected information “If the Protected Domain(s) is (are) alleged to violate or infringe a third party’s trademark, trade name, copyright interests or other legal rights of third parties;”
Its worth a try to discuss this issue with them: support@whoisguard.com ,
Comment on Counterfeit Impact Factors are Devaluing the Real One by Jeroen Bosman
Thanks Bill, I know about all those lists, but I just wanted to make clear that there is no authorative open source to check whether a journal has a JCR impact factor and thus no way to verify journals’ IF claims without access to the proprietary Thomson Reuters database.

Wow. Another “success” of the open access movement.
I noticed today another type of hijack, where the name of a well known journal, in this case International Journal of Engineering Science (“IJES” colloquially, http://www.journals.elsevier.com/international-journal-of-engineering-science/, started in 1963 and currently publishing) has had its name transmogrified into the open-access The International Journal of Engineering and Science (“THE IJES”, http://www.theijes.com/current-issue.html)…
