Comment on Real Location of JSciMed Central Revealed by Jeffrey Beall
We have a dual-sovereign system here, so I wouldn’t trash the entire nation. Delaware can do whatever it likes, and in this case it has enabled predatory publishers. Please direct your wrath at Delaware, not at the entire country.

Comment on List of Predatory Publishers 2014 by Jeffrey Beall
Hi, Kimberly: This publisher is included on my list here: http://scholarlyoa.com/publishers/
They are using a tactic that many predatory publishers use, namely harvesting author names and emails from conference abstracts. Then they spam the author inviting a paper. I strongly recommend that you ignore this offer.
Good luck,
Jeffrey

Hi, Hamed,
Thank you for your comment. I have analyzed this publisher and added it to my list.
How long did your peer review take? The site does not mention anything about article processing charges. Did they ask you to pay anything? I could not find a contact email on the site — only a web form. I would recommend that you find a better publisher. This one seems very amateurish. Good luck.

Comment on List of Predatory Publishers 2014 by hamed
actually they don not charge authors at all. moreover they accepted my paper immediately and published it, so I understood that they don’t peer-review articles. but it indexed by google scholar, is that valuable??? I can see my paper in google scholar and it, somehow, satisfied me. is this good?
thanks for your kind help.

Yes, in fact there is some value in being indexed in Google Scholar. It helps people find your articles easier. It increases visibility of articles.

The spam emails actually come from a jacobspublishers.net email, which is registered to Jacob Nixon Geddam, whereas the legitimate website is jacobspublishers.com, registered a couple of weeks earlier to someone completely different.

Comment on A New Clone of OMICS Publishing Group: MedCrave by Juan carlos sosa
Is there anyone that has actually published something with group?
My question is: if this journal is neither indexed in pubmed nor in the open access journal directory: is it worth publishing (consider there is a 600 dollar fee)
The payment of this fee is through a “donation” Is this the same mechanism for other more serious journals?
I am really trying to find out if this is a scam or is for real. thank you!

That is correct. I have been in Hyderabad multiple times. Actually, there have been dramatic improvements in last 10 years. The most of the IT infrastructure we use are designed in that city. One should not discriminate business and technologies based on the location. But in any case, in US different companies can have same name and I expect that is true across the globe.

For better or worse, the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision protecting the privacy of cell phones from warrant less wiretapping mentions the potential aid to gang communication as a cost of protecting the greater good. Open access journal business models with APC charges do serve the greater good of many serious readers that cannot afford individual or institutional subscriptions. It is the increasing cost of predatory paper mills that cries out for continued reader education in blogs like this.

It’s even scarier when unworthy articles are quoted in the political arena. At least in court, opposing counsel has the opportunity to question a journal’s validity.

“Under the subscription model, libraries and individual subscribers would cancel the subscriptions of journals that published faulty research or that otherwise underperformed.”
But will anyone unsubscribe from Nature because they published the “STAP” stem cell papers?

Comment on Questionable Publishers Block Access to Their Websites in Colorado by Neuroskeptic (@Neuro_Skeptic)
Upon seeing that Annex Publishers had deliberately poked the hornet's nest with their cheeky scholarlyoa.com HTTP redirect, I decided to sting them. A quick glance at their back catalogue revealed two papers containing 'unexplained remarkable similarities' to other cited sources, namely <a href="http://www.annexpublishers.com/full-text/JPDD/e202/Liposphere-a-versatile-controlled-release-carrier-for-hydrophobic-drugs.php" rel="nofollow">this</a> and <a href="http://annexpublishers.com/blog/molecular-mechanisms-of-mismatch-repair-genes-in-cancer-a-brief-review/" rel="nofollow">this</a>, the latter of which has already been taken down, the former ought to be.
Is this what they mean by 'radically novel science'? Why would authors choose a publisher that encourages hostile scrutiny of their papers by means of silly web gimmicks?

Comment on Chinese Publisher MDPI Added to List of Questionable Publishers by Jeanne A. Pawitan
Dear Mr. Salvan,
In my opinion, you should consult your own experience with the journal, and your intuition. If you have a good experience with them, and you feel that the journal is OK, then, it is OK. Mr. Beall is a human, so he may make errors too, and his judgment is not always correct.

Dear Mr Kohen,
You miss one for medicine: Pubmed.
I believe in ISI Thomson Reuters, Scopus and Pubmed. As for journals that are not indexed by them, I will avoid journals/publishers that are listed in the list of Mr Beall.
Bad thing is that the journals/publishers that are not listed today, may be listed tomorrow, and indexing is not forever, as the journals can be de-listed from the indexing bodies.
