“Will you please list out the best rating journals to publish my research article which would not be costly internationally and in india so that it would help my career” — Seriously?? That is not Dr. Beall’s job. It’s mostly your job, and secondarily that of your mentor or other supervisor.

It’s not really an open-access publisher, and I generally limit my analyses to OA publishers and journals.

Common Ground Publishing is blacklisted by Malaysia Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE), but why doesn’t it appear on the list? Its journals are hybrid like this one.

Dear Jeffrey Beall,

Generally speaking, your work and commitment is admirable. There exist some uncertainties about the list and selection criteria, however, as mentioned by others. As an example, could you please give your justification for inclusion of the “Universal Research Publications” in your list? I have not submitted there, but as far as I found, most of their journals have editorial board and make no charge on publication (as appeared from their author guidelines). Is it wrong or fake?

Thanks a lot for your consideration.

I try not to use the terms fake or wrong to describe publishers. This one is typical of many questionable publishers. It launched with a large (over 50) fleet of broad-scope journals. Most of the journals represent disciplines already well-covered in the literature. Many questionable publishers do not charge at first, and they use the free articles to accumulate a mass of articles that then serve to attract submissions when the APCs are imposed. Researchers need to know which publishers to avoid, and I think this one offers little benefit to researchers with new research to share with other scholars. Why are you asking about this particular publisher?

So, how do they make money? And what exactly does the title of one of their journals (Journal of Monsoon and Air-Sea) actually mean?

Right, scamsters operate open access journals, fraudsters publish in them and fools support open access publishing. Quiet a nexus I must say.

For 1., this is not a publisher exactly; it is an aggregator. Therefore, it is not appropriate for inclusion on my list. It is a list of journals.

For 2., the Journal of Medical Sciences and Clinical Research, this is published by a firm called IGM Publication, which is on my list so I recommend against submitting papers to it.

Comment on Lambert Academic Publishing: A Must to Avoid by Kata

Hi,
I was recently approached by LAP and sent them my MA thesis for review. They answered today that they would be happy to publish it but luckily I came across this webpage. I wrote to them that the deal is off and asked them to delete all my data from their records as they had promised in a previous e-mail. So I didn’t sign anything yet. You don’t suppose they will publish it anyway since they have the pdf version, do you? Or should I be worried?
Thank you in advance.

Not sure. Sometimes copyright can be transferred by checking a box.

Ok, thank you. I’ve only corresponded with them via e-mail, haven’t registered on their website as an author so I don’t remember clicking anything. What do you think about that?

Dear Jeffrey Beall, I just want to ask if all journals that are being publish by World Academic publishing are questionable? If no, can you kindly give me the list of those that are not questionable. Thank you

I think they’re all bad. I recommend finding a better publisher.
