Comments for Scholarly Open Access

Regarding the ability to cite the paper:
The author should consider to upload a preprint of the paper to arXiv.org. You may keep the current format, the specific IJACT format is probably not necessary. :)
This would spare you your 150 bucks, and everybody could cite.

Dear Mr Beall,

Whilst Bentham Open is on your list, Bentham Science is not. Are they two different publishing houses and is the latter non-questionable? (They do have at least one journal in Medline)

They are separate <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imprint" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">imprints </a>of a single company. One publishes using the gold open-access model, and the other, Bentham Science, is a subscription publisher. I limit my work to OA publishers.

[…] 　　众所周知，在线开放获取期刊质量参差不齐，或许会因为人手短缺的问题而无法严格控制质量。但你恐怕无法想象他们真的会发表垃圾文章。计算机科学开放获取杂志《International Journal of Advanced Computer Technology》接受了一篇论文《Get me off Your Fucking Mailing List》（PDF），作者自称来自纽约大学和加州洛杉矶分校，整篇论文除了格式有模有样外，内容就是不断重复标题“Get me off Your Fucking Mailing List”….任何人都知道这叫 Spam。这篇论文是 Peter Vamplew 博士所创作的，他收到了该期刊的垃圾邮件，于是就向该期刊递交了反垃圾邮件论文，没想到竟然被接受了，只是发表论文需要先缴纳 150 美元。 […]

I downloaded the paper and will use it as a standard submission/reply to my daily lot of spams from bogus journals like this one (though I draw the line at actually going through the manuscript submission system). Today’s winner is The Open Access Journal of Science and Technology – OAJoST.

I guess you can always have a sociology paper out of this ;-)

I believe there are many. One example is the <em><a href="http://ijoc.org/index.php/ijoc/index" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">International Journal of Communication</a></em>, published by the University of Southern California USC Annenberg Press.

Are these two journal owned by same people?

International Journal of Advanced Computer Technology (IJACT)

International Journal of Innovative Research in Technology & Science

Most of the Waset Journals are a farce.
They have started publishing call for papers with high number of occurrences.
For example, ICLKIS 2015 : XIII International Conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems

Lets see, the rate is high 350-400 euros, and they have organized it earlier, but apart from making it look like a real conference there is nothing more to it.

To further see how they joke, you can click on the following links –

https://www.waset.org/conference/2015/06/paris/ICLKIS

https://www.waset.org/conference/2016/06/paris/ICLKIS

https://www.waset.org/conference/2017/06/paris/ICLKIS

https://www.waset.org/conference/2018/06/paris/ICLKIS

https://www.waset.org/conference/2019/06/paris/ICLKIS

https://www.waset.org/conference/2020/06/paris/ICLKIS

They have created dummy pages to fill in their pockets. Content of the pages same dates for conferences every year upto 2022, same call for papers, same venue. they just released the call for papers for the next 8-9 years and don’t even bother with it.

The international Journal of Urology and International Surgery are legitimate journals. The latter does charge for submission

I have already sent to this journal! But may I submit the same article to other journal?

You should withdraw your submission from the first journal before you submit it to the second journal.

What do you know about the American Association for Science and Technology? I just got a solicitation from them. Thanks.

*Anything* involving Smarandache and the grandiose self-monument of Neutrosophy is bound to end in hilarity. He prefers to write about himself in third-person, after all. In the pre-wordprocessing era, I imagine that he preferred to write in purple ink.

“the Romanian / Albanian bank “Intesa SaoPaolo Bank”, which also trades under the name “American Bank of Albania”, and is not dodgy at all”

To politely disagree with the subtext of your post: Intesa Sanpaolo Bank is the Albanian subsidiary of a major Italian bank. It used to be called American Bank of Albania before a corporate reorganisation a couple of years ago. There’s nothing dodgy about the bank.

Occasionally, I’ve certainly come across (and had to read) some hopelessly opaque essays at arXiv from people whose ideas are quite probably wrong. It seems like it would be an “accomplishment” indicative of incredible skill to be banned from there.
