l just recently received invitation from OMIC group as speaker in their conference in spain .what I can do plz help me to go or not.

I recommend that you NOT attend any conference organized by OMICS.

Well, looking closely at your spam email, you encourage researchers to stop submitting to places such as arXiv and instead submit to ScienceOpen. This sounds like competition to me. If I own Coca Cola, and I say, “Why buy a Pepsi when you can buy a Coca Cola?”, then I am competing with Pepsi. Coca Cola, Pepsi. ScienceOpen, arXiv. Same thing.

These two journals do not meet the criteria as predatory journals. I think they are fine.

Thank you Jeff. I really appreciate your help.

You are doing a good job. Thanks for opening my eyes to fake journal outlets.

What do you think about the “Frontiers in” journals? Seems to me that they are predatory for a variety of reasons. Just wondering if they are new enough that they haven’t made your list.

It’s interesting how certain names seem to pop up on editorial boards of many of these predatory journals. Not even sure that these are names of real people, but that should be a giveaway itself. If you google the name of an editor and it comes up as an editor of numerous shady journals.

Thanks for your excellent work compiling a list like this.

Dear Mr. Beall,

Thank you for your good work but I have a question for you; what if a journal is listed as a predatory journal in your list and the publisher now goes back and clean up its mess and meets up with your standard, would it still be considered as predatory? will you remove it from your list? There is a particular publisher who i am so impress with the work they have done after you listed them.
