Comment on Appeals by Jeffrey Beall

The situation you describe is a difficult one. If you decide to submit your paper to another journal, I recommend that you be completely transparent with the new journal regarding the history of the manuscript. Don’t let yourself get caught in a double-submission situation.

That’s a question for SCOPUS. I stand by my evaluation of this publisher and strongly recommend that scholars not fall into the temptation it offers, quick, easy, and cheap publication of their work.

Well, for one thing, their “code of ethics” page is copied from IEEE without attribution and with no notice that it is copied. This is a warning bell. Is the upper case broken on your computer?

I have not heard of this publisher before; it must be new. I will analyze it as soon as I can. In the meantime, I would not recommend that researchers submit papers to it.

Comment on The Scientific World Journal Will Lose Its Impact Factor — Again by Dave Langers

I’ve done some reviewing for “Neural Plasticity”, from Hindawi. I was suspicious, but did not encounter anything out of the ordinary. Quite a good paper, if I remember correctly, and I find the journal content entirely legit.
I realise this is N=1, but this particular journal does /not/ seem to belong on the crap pile. No idea about any of the other Hindawi journals, although I can imagine that the quality “diverges” from case to case.
Based on my experience, I do not recommend a phrase like “I strongly recommend against submitting scholarly papers to all XXX journals published by XXX”, as suggested above.
(Disclosure: apart having done one review for them, I have no link with this journal of publisher whatsoever.)

Recent Science is a highly questionable publisher, and I recommend that you not publish your work with this company. I have included this publisher on my list here: http://scholarlyoa.com/publishers/ Their journals do not have legitimate impact factors. If the publisher claims its journals have impact factors, they are counterfeit. I regret I cannot make journal recommendations.

Dear Jeffrey,

I need your opinion.
Recently my supervisor name was put on a journal editorial list as a regional editor and he received some of the hard copies of the recent publications. My supervisor suggested me to submit a paper to this journal but I have just checked that this publisher is in your first list. The journal is “Trends in Applied Sciences Research” from “Science Alert”.
Can you please give me some more details about this publisher. why is it included in this list?
Thanks a lot.

Ana, I just tried to look it up on ISI web of knowledge and it seems not to be indexed. I think this global impact factor is different from the (sigh) accepted standard of impact factors, which I believe is exclusive (sigh) of Thomson Reuters.

Perhaps it is time for a new supervisor.
This publisher has been on my list for a long time. It is a very large publisher that publishes dozens of broad-scoped journals. It claims to be based in New York City, but this is false. It offers quick and easy publishing. It is more of a vanity press than a publisher.

This is a good and complex question. Since my university only purchased ScienceDirect and partial Wiley database, OA seems useful. Are there enough OA j? I’ll read OASPA’s publications during this weekend, and they should have an answer. During last 6 years, I have seen good OA journals, but few. Here gives a long list of publishers that we should not work with. The rest options are big publishers who charge $2000 APC, and some small new publishers that I cannot recognize. In my opinion, making a good journal is only related to the quality and efforts of the editorial team. The quality of published papers is related to the quality of the writers attracted by the editorial team.
An OA journal is always associated with huge APC. But my calculation tells me the cost per year is around $1000. Most money will go to CLOCKSS, DOI, OASPA, DOAJ, maybe more. My thought is if a journal is run by scientists, we don’t need to charge too much APC at all. I apologize that my thoughts are not always logical. Doing too much research makes me feel that business is very confusing.

Jeff, how strike the following name: “Scientific American”?
If the title is ridiculous, the “Scientific American” should also be ridiculous, as both titles refer to proper names!
