Hi Jeffrey,
Even the new journal have some parts of established journal title name, but had own ISSN, real articles, editors, peer reviewers and supported by society I think we give it some chance to grow and successful. The authors must be investigate the title of journal before send his/her paper for publication.

There is no publisher with that name on my list.

@A The only people who can help you with this issue are the member of your thesis committee, ask them. Random strangers on the internet have no idea what will help you graduate.

As a side note, regardless of grad school requirement, a publication in this journal will probably not be highly regarded in future academic applications.

[…] When I said that I’ll launch my open-access journal (OA j), Mr. Bealle asked me to think it again. I understand that he’s tired to see another greedy and irresponsible publisher. This is very complex question, my original answer was here: http://scholarlyoa.com/2014/01/02/list-of-predatory-publishers-2014/#comment-179500 […]

Based on your description, I see no evidence of misconduct.

It sounds like you lost the contest, not won it.

Exactly… and I refused to publish my thesis with them in the end, because I do not think that it is worth giving away my rights for 20 years in exchange of an ISBN code (if I want to publish my thesis online, I can always post it on my institutional page).
The prize however ran every year, it is open to scholars under 35 in the humanities and social sciences and it is organized together with the Florence city council… if this is the way Italian public institutions want to help young researchers, no wonder that most of them are going abroad.

This is not unprecedented. My own thesis adviser once had a master’s student who wished to publish his results. My adviser was not sure of the data, so declined to be an author, but did permit the student to publish his master’s thesis work. The student became a successful researcher (but told me once that he’d never succeeded in replicating his master’s thesis work, so my advisor was right after all :-).

Thanks for giving a heads up on MedCrave. I was also contacted through my LinkedIn account and received a message written in odd English from Jessie Rose of MedCrave (see below). I replied asking why the journal is not PubMed listed, but received no reply as of yet.

“Hi Dr. Michael,

Happy Open Access Week !

After having glance at your profile I really appreciate if I can have your articles or research work publish in my journal.

On the occasion of Open Access Week from October 19th to 25th we are providing complete waiver on the publishing fee for all the articles received by October 26th. I believe that publishing articles in Open Access will remove all the barriers in the progress of research.

I’d personally be extremely fortunate to help eminent like you.

Please go through the below link for recent novel articles from eminent authors in Journal of Neurology & Stroke.

http://medcraveonline.com/JNSK/current-issue

I would appreciate your prompt submission that would help publish along with others for the coming issue only.

Await your response

Have a Great day!
Jessie Rose”

Oh new supervisor is not an option for me. I am in 3rd year of my PhD and moving towards my final stages.
According to information on the website, it is an ISI indexed journal and have been publishing since 2006.

They are pretty stubborn. I know my friend published his MSc with them. They keep bugging me constantly. I wont even reply to them hoping they will think my email is wrong.

They are “attacking” Swedish students because it is so convenient to them. All Swedish thesis are published into single repository online http://www.diva-portal.org/. This is like having a field day for them, not having to search individual university repositories.

How much will you charge people to edit, peer-review and transmit their comments? AFAF.

I had the questionable pleasure to be asked to review a paper for JAS-CSSE. Despite my outright REJECTION on the poor, poor paper (in my opinion fully justified, based on duplicatory character of the studies, awful writing, poor presentation and formating), the “editor” – Anne Brown I think – seems to have advised the Authors to apply my editorial comments, and accepted the paper.
If that doesn’t put doubt on the already questioned OA, WHAT would…?!?

Also, the same journal title issue applies for Bothalia (http://www.abcjournal.org/index.php/ABC, ISSN 0006-8241 (print) | ISSN: 2311-9284 (online), who even on their webpage prewanrs on the predatory copy of theirs, bothalia.com.

I have talked to support of the journal regarding this, they say we have a large editorial board and that’s why they could review a paper within 10 days. Is there any other reason?

I have already given my papers, and they are published few months back. I came across your list just few days back.

The full history of the (British) Journal of Optics is a bit more complicated than that. It was already called Journal of Optics between 1977-1998, then merged with another journal to become Journal of Optics A: Pure and Applied Optics and it indeed took back its former name in 2010.
Still the Journal of Optics published by the Optical Society of India was created first and its name never changed.

Hi Jeffrey

Good work you are doing there. If a journal claims to be indexed in Scopus, is it always a surety that it is a good journal (like this one here http://jestec.taylors.edu.my/)?

Some use listing in Scopus as a “white list.”
However, there are a few titles/publishers in Scopus that are also on my list.

I was wondering to see “http://www.iiste.org” in your list, this journal has helped in the promotion of many senior lecturers in developing countries and it is among the trusted journals…i think we have a mountain to climb.
