I agree with Ole, Ole! that this problem is not restricted to open access or predatory journals. As a Clinical Coordinator for a hospital, my significant other spends a great deal of time evaluating the clinical literature for drug therapies, and finds that this is a problem that one always has to be watching for. He has found numerous instances of drug studies that seem to use the same patients; they just differ slightly in the Study Title and rearrange the authors. The authors of meta-analyses need to be particularly vigilant to avoid skewing the data.

Comment on Meta-analyses and the Problems of Duplicate Publication and Plagiarism by Prof. Dr. Mirko Spiroski
Dear Sir,
I would like to inform you that the paper was retracted from Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences:
Retraction
The article published by Ilankovic et al., 2013 [1] has been retracted by Editor-in-Chief because corresponding author published the similar paper in Psychiatria Danubina in 2014 [2]. An internal investigation has raised sufficient evidence of the originality in the first paper [1] and self plagiarism in the second paper [2]; as such, we retract this article from the literature on request by corresponding author and in accordance with guidelines and best editorial practices from the Committee on Publication Ethics. We apologize to our audience about this unfortunate situation.

Comment on Science Publishing Group Publishes Junk Science by Jeffrey Beall
These are journals published by the U.S.-based firm called Common Ground Publishing. It is not open-access (unless one pays to make the work OA). The publisher is not on my list. I receive many inquiries about this publisher, an indication to me that many find it strange or non-standard.

Comment on Is Scientific Research Publishing (SCIRP) Publishing Pseudo-Science? by P Canning
Open access publishing is the new curse for scholars and researchers. Some claim that open access publishing provides free access to knowledge but what is the use of knowledge which can kill people and which says Einstein was wrong? Kudos to Mr. Beall for exposing open access publishing for a fraud that it is.

Comment on List of Predatory Publishers 2014 by Jeffrey Beall
I received some more information about this from a reliable source:
This journal hasn’t been included in the 2013 JCR data due to anomalous citation patterns found in the 2013 citation data. These patterns result in a significant distortion of the Journal Impact Factor and rank that does not accurately reflect the journal’s citation performance in the literature. The Journal Impact Factor provides an important and objective measure of a journal’s contribution to scholarly communication. In the interest of fairness and accuracy for all journals, the distortion of the Journal Impact Factor by an excessive concentration of citations gives rise to the need for suppression.
The journal “International Journal of Photoenergy” has be suppressed for “Citation Stacking,” where there is an anomalous exchange of citations between two or more journals. You can read more about Journal Suppression here : http://wokinfo.com/media/pdf/jcr-suppression.pdf

Hi, Jeff! “International Journal of Electrochemical Science” has received a new impact factor in 2013 (1.956). Is it really a “predatory publisher”? Thanks,

This journal had its impact factor suppressed for a year apparently, but now the impact factor has appeared again. I am keeping it on my list.
