Could you please add “International Journal of Physics and Astronomy”. They contacted me recently for a contribution. I did a cursory check only to see that they are publishing antirelativistic garbage like this: http://aripd.org/journals/ijpa/Vol_2_No_2_June_2014/6.pdf
Anyone ready to shell 200$ can publish in this rag.

Comment on List of Predatory Publishers 2014 by Jessica
Dear Mr. Beall,
I was contacted over the Thanksgiving holiday by Cultural and Religious Studies, a product of the David Publishing Company, expressing interest in a paper that I presented at recent conference. The language in the email, such as “Cultural and Religious Studies (ISSN 2328-2177) is to be indexed in following databases,” implies that this is a relatively new publication.
At first, I was intrigued. Then, as I scrolled down, I noticed a glaring red flag. This journal requires authors to pay $50 per page, a substantial fee for a 4,000- to 15,000-word article (the recommended length under “Information for Authors”). Needless to say, I will not be doing business with this journal.

I think you are making a wise decision to avoid all the David Publishing journals. This firm regularly tries to lure presenters at conferences into submitting their papers to the company’s many low-quality journals.

Comment on List of Predatory Publishers 2014 by Jeffrey Beall
I have this journal's publisher, the American Research Institute for Policy Development (ARIPD), included on my list here: <a href="http://wp.me/P280Ch-uhttp://" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://wp.me/P280Ch-u</a>. This is a very dangerous publisher and I advise authors and potential editorial board members to completely avoid any association with the firm. Thanks for supplying yet another example of junk science published by a predatory publisher.

Comment on Why Researchers Should Avoid the Clute “Institute” by Jeffrey Beall
Corey, I have seen several others like this and I don't understand exactly what's going on. They launch with extremely skeletal websites and with many journals. I have added these to my list. I have found that these are generally started up by Bangladeshi immigrants in the New York City area. They may be cybersquatting the journal titles, I just don't know. The earlier launches I know about are:
American Research Publications = <a href="http://www.arepub.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.arepub.com/</a>
Research and Knowledge Publication = <a href="http://www.rekpub.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.rekpub.com/</a>
Science and Technology Publishing = <a href="http://www.acascipub.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.acascipub.com/</a>
Thanks for letting me know about these new ones.

Peter, I do have this publisher included on my list here: http://scholarlyoa.com/publishers/ (Perhaps you were looking at the other list?). In any event, I agree with your assessment and strongly recommend that researchers avoid this highly questionable publisher. Thank you.

Comment on Open-Access Physics Journal Accommodates Authors Blacklisted from arXiv by Mr. Newbie
Hi Jeffrey,
Progress in Physics is just a small part of the physics-crackpot-publishing circle. The story of “amateur physicist gets rejected from all journals so forms his own” seems to be a long one. I can’t vouch for the peer-review systems at these journals—maybe they send incoming crank papers to other cranks for legitimate, if ineffective, review—but the result is that a whole stable of unaffiliated journals that publish one another’s authors over and over.
However, I’ve never viewed this as an “open access” problem or a matter of corruption. The world of readers/librarian/tenure-review-committees is not getting fooled by these journals. (Occasionally rarely you see a serious (if minor) article from an inexperienced author, often in a developing country, and I presume these people have been “fooled” by the journal title and presentation.) I don’t think they’re owned by predatory moneymaking machines, and (unlike the Benthams and such of the world) I don’t worry about their broader effects on science publishing. Just a subculture.
However, if you’re interested, look into:
Physics Essays (longstanding and, IMO, no illusions about what they’re doing)
Galilean Electrodynamics
Hadronic Journal
Algebras, Groups and Geometries
Annales de la Fondation Louis de Broglie
Journal of Cosmology

Comment on List of Predatory Publishers 2014 by Jeffrey Beall
This is technically not an open-access journal because one has to establish an account and sign in to access the article content.
I will not be including this journal on my list.
The journal makes a glaring error by claiming to be indexed in Ulrich’s, which is not an index; it’s a directory.

Thank you — this is a helpful comment. I do have the Journal of Cosmology on my list.
Don’t you think it’s at least a small problem when academic indexes include articles from these journals in their databases?

Comment on Open-Access Physics Journal Accommodates Authors Blacklisted from arXiv by herr doktor bimler
The Journal of Cosmology (and its semi-attached website) have contributed greatly to the cause of hilarity over the years, with their panspermia and Hydro-Gravitational-Dynamics creationism, and their use of what appear to be Christian Psychedelia album covers to illustrate their neologasms of deeply-meaningful word coinage. Not to mention their vendetta against P Z Myers.
