CC licences are irrevocable, so the rights cannot be retrieved once they have been given away.

How dare you say that “Merry Jeans” is a made-up name! That’s my wife’s name!

Many licences do not lose the owner rights because, for example, the licence is for a particular organisation, for a particular country, for particular purposes or for a certain period of time. With CC, all those restrictions vanish. “Some rights reserved” is used a lot in association with CC licences. You are right that it has no legal meaning. But there is no point in using “all rights reserved” which is incompatible with the licence being granted as it just causes confusion. You are of course correct that even with a CC licence, the copyright owner retains some rights that are enforceable in law. I made exactly the same point!

Is the American-Eurasian Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Science legitimate? I recently found a paper in it (Faramarzi, et al.,12 (4): 449-455, 2012) that was clearly plagiarized (almost word for word) from The African Journal of Food Agriculture Nutrition and Development (Omoregie, et al., Vol 9 No.2 March 2009, p. 700-712).

I have received quite a few emails from Science Domain International this week.
Although listed here, I note that SDI journals claim to have published authors with impressive affiliations – and the claim would appear to be genuine:

Never published with them – just curious.

Comment on Shabby Indian Management Megajournal Reveals Its Peer Review Process by Jeff Shrager

Maybe it’s impact factor is actually NEGATIVE 0.381, which is what it looks like! :-)

Seriously, though. Having a set of choices isn’t much more than some conferences have, although they let you add comments. (Maybe this journal does too?) Sometimes it’s a likert scale. Anyway, one could argue about the details. And, indeed, at least they are asking about several categories. I’m mean, clearly this is pretty poorly executed, but at least it’s not one question with one choice: Accept? [] Yes.

There is some dire content in that IJMRR journal. e.g. extract from one article: “A fashion in clothes that is a language beyond words which leads the consumer to get entice of what they seeing and to buy.” For $30 you obviously don’t get copy-editing.

I wonder, why they charge more for manuscripts with more than two authors. Probably you pay for that extra storage space.

Hi, I got a new, possibly sketchy, journal invite today from advances in medical ethics. After all, who would want me as an editor? Publisher is Longdom Publishing.
Hope things are well.

I find that this publisher has very low credibility and I recommend against submitting manuscripts to its journals.

A colleague of mine has been receiving solicitations to write for the MDPI journal SUSTAINABILITY. She was suspicious and asked if I knew anything about it. I was happy to refer her to your webpage.

Dear Jeff, Do you have any idea about Academic Journal, is it under your observation list?

Comment on Questionable OA Publisher Launches with a Clever Website and 52 New Journals by Resa

I’ve gotten a few emails announcing their journals. It seemed like a scam from the beginning because journals titles are pretty absurd (e.g. International Journal of Multilingual Contemporary Research) and they will publish in ANY language. I googled them because some of my colleagues started to forward these very emails. I wonder if the papers are real–an author with several papers in this journal is a graduate student, but in the paper she is listed as a professor. It’s scary to think they could just slap your name on a fake paper, especially if they have 50 journals!
