Are you referring to the <em>Open Journal of Geology</em> that is published by Scientific Research Publishing? If so, then yes, this publisher is on my list, and I recommend that you find a better quality publisher for your work. This publisher is known for accepting and publishing questionable science, and this could hurt the reputation of your work if you publish in one of their journals. Good luck with your defense.

Comment on Lambert Academic Publishing: A Must to Avoid by E. Holt
I understand that, but I have one question: your books are very highly priced, at an average of 50 dollars and much more in some cases. From the way in which you describe your operation, it is mainly a Print-on-demand service such as Lulu, Blurb etc, with the difference that the books published by the latter companies sell at a fraction of the price. One common criticism of LAP and other VDM subsidiaries is that they do not offer a service of academic publishing (ie: editorial selection [I, and many others, were invited to submit without knowing the quality of even mark of my work], proofreading, editorial reports, marketing, printing and distribution, etc) but you present your books (and charge for them) as if they were monographs edited, published printed and marketed in the way that the “Academic Publishing” part of your name implies. In that case, why charge so much for print-on-demand book that have not gone through a process of academic edition? How is it different from any other self-publishing service? What do you say to those people who have bought a 60 dollar book in the belief that it was an academic monograph only to receive a the printout of a class dissertation? If you don’t think that the way in which your books are presented is misleading, why do some universities advise specifically against publishing with VDM subsidiaries to those wishing to embark on an academic career?

Dear Jeffrey,

Ciência e Técnica
Vitivinícola . ISSN: 0254-0223

5-Year Impact Factor: 0.479.
In that same period, I received an invitation from the false Icelandic Jokull and Austrian Mitteilungen Klosterneuborg

My question is whether it is real or fake magazine?
Best Regards,

Those are all hijacked versions of legitimate journals. In other words, they are fake. Please do not submit any papers to the fake versions of these journals.

Comment on Criteria for Determining Predatory Open-Access Publishers (2nd edition) by Jeffrey Beall
One list is for publishers, and one list is for standalone journals (a single journal that publishes by itself, not under a publisher).
The purpose of the lists is to help scholarly authors avoid being ripped off by the publishers, but I don’t want to apply the term predatory to all of them.

Comment on Lambert Academic Publishing: A Must to Avoid by Writerbeware
Dear everyone here (including ishan),
Publishing with this company is NOT WORTH IT. Here’s proof: I was a victim during the early years of this company’s business–they hooked me right after graduate school. (Even my husband, who has published with SAGE and Oxford University Press didn’t realize this was a shady business because it was too early in the game and we misread the royalty agreement. We soon learned too well.) The main problems are that this company prices the books well over 50 dollars, so most people cannot buy it, and most importantly, you will probably NEVER GET PAID. That’s right. You must make 50 euros in royalties each month in order to receive a payment. They also sell pdf versions of your book, so if you make 5 euros every month (or 20 euros or 49 euros every single month), they will keep your royalties forever. In return, they “offer” you a book voucher for the amount of your royalties, but since they don’t sell books for anything in that range, your vouchers are useless. If your book doesn’t sell for a year and you ask them to remove the book from their list, they demand 750 euros from you first. Only then will they take your book off their list. Pretty scary, huh? Take my advice and stay away from them if you have a dissertation that you think you merits publication, even as chapters in a journal. If you just want to know that your book is “published and out there” and you’re okay with the fact that the company will keep your royalties, then this is the vanity press for you. Serious writers, stay away.

Comment on Beware of Spam Email With Offers to Promote Your Research by Jaap Schellekens
Since I’ve started coordinating an FP7 project I’ve recieved a number of invitations from researchmedia and others. I think it is best to just ignore them. My main reason for irnoring them is that I had never heard of them before not had any of the people that I may wanted to reach with a glossy.
