I want to know why david publishing was listed as a predatory journal. Recently I sent a manuscript to them and it was reviewed and accepted, initially I was to pay $700 but this was waived to $150.

Comment on Google Scholar is Filled with Junk Science by jsmiff
Funny you mentioned climate change yet reject the idea that the common belief could be wrong. Check out some of the European studies where none of the climate models used have matched up to real world observations….. Just sayn
At one point every great mind thought the world was flat.

Comment on Editorial Manager Licensed to OMICS Group by tekija
Money speaks. This is how capitalism functions, in good and bad. Other companies, like tobacco companies, directly victimize people. Aries is likely to get significant revenue from a company with that many journals, so it is good business for them. The money they get will be used to improve the product, which benefits all clients.

Comment on Editorial Manager Licensed to OMICS Group by Alex SL
I was also fairly puzzled when I received a spam message in which a predatory journal did not only use Editorial Manager but, most unusually, had already made an account for me before I started a submission process! (Which, of course, I would not think of doing.) It certainly surprised me that they made the financial and administrative effort of getting that software.
But the principle here is clear: companies exist to make money. That includes Aries; if they didn’t sell to Omics, their staff wouldn’t be doing the job they are being paid for. Anybody who thinks that one can have a profit-oriented market economy without things like these happening on a daily basis hasn’t understood what market economy means and how it is supposed to work.

Comment on List of Predatory Publishers 2014 by John Humphreys
I know you already do a huge amount of work, and of course are under no obligation to even keep the site active let alone make changes… but a (cough, cough) humble suggestion.
Perhaps it is worthwhile drawing a distinction between “predatory publishers” who set up fake shop fronts with no (or little) credible academic backing, “gotcha” funding models, and no (or little) service… vis-a-vis “shitty journals” that are well intentioned and honestly trying to get in the game, but are (currently) low quality.
Food for thought. Or not. Up to you.

I agree and do not want to hurt an honest new journal that may be stumbling early on. Can you name two or three on the list that fit your criteria of well-intentioned and honest?

Comment on Editorial Manager Licensed to OMICS Group by Wasit ullah
I wounder if OMICS and many other are predatory journals, why they indexed in good databases like Scopus, medline, Pubmed, ISI, EMBASE, Proquest etc. Moreover, why their ISSN are not cancelled or why journals are not suspended. Sometime this blog look like a reflection of a person and the journal and publishing industry like a mafia. No matter what you do some one will submit their paper to them.

Comment on Editorial Manager Licensed to OMICS Group by Proton Motive Force
I just got bitten on the bum by OMICS. Worse it was a Masters students paper I published with her. Never again. The way I got caught was I looked down the reference list and decided to send the paper to a journal which we had cited several times. On the journal webpage I quickly scanned it and saw what looked like an ISI ranking: it was not. Every other paper I have published (80) has been in an ISI ranked journal and I know that ranks do not mean much as so I did not look closely at the wording.

Comment on Editorial Manager Licensed to OMICS Group by Jorge
As Tekija and Alex SL said, this is capitalism at work. But the free market is double-edged: by selling its content management system to OMICS, Aries can be seriously damaging its brand. If I was an editor browsing the market for a publishing system, I certainly wouldn’t consider the purchase of Aries’ Editorial Manager, out of fear that my would-be authors would confuse or associate the look and feel of my legitimate, reputable journal with those “journals” of predatory OMICS.

Comment on Fake ISI Aims to Trick the Scholarly Community by Jeffrey Beall
I think the “Directory of Research Journals Indexing” is a useless website. It adds no value to anything
I see that they are launching a new metric. I will monitor it.

Comment on Is Scientific Research Publishing (SCIRP) Publishing Pseudo-Science? by Gary
“Judge Victoria Sharp also found “reasonable and serious grounds” for suspecting that El Naschie used a range of false names to defend his editorial practice in communications with Nature, and described this behavior as “curious” and “bizarre”.
I wonder if any of the people here are his (or his compatriots) sock puppets?

Comment on Bogus “Center” Provides Quick, Easy, and Cheap Publishing by shah khan
Dear friends, after looking at your valuable comments, Some questions arise in my mind..if the MJSS is a fake journal… first, why it is listed in the latest Scopus list released, 2014,,,,,whereas, some of the substandard journals have been shown cancelled in the latest list..MJSS is shown active…. Second, some friends are saying that this journal does not give any review… It does, may be not very critical….The review is accompanied by the processing fee.. Third, if it is a fake journal, why it is published under the name of Sapeinza University Rome…? Why the university did not declare its dis-association till now…. All this shows that the Scopus list is fake which is available in the Scopus site or something else which is a mystery…..
