Most people and magazines from the comics group use the address 731 Gull Ave, Foster City. If you street view that address you will see is a regular house in a suburban-looking area.

Comment on Higher Education Forum: 95% Vacation, 5% Scholarly Conference by Ken Lanfear
Jeff, I see “vacation conferences” as a far less serious threat than predatory journals. Even legitimate conference planners know it’s easier to attract folks to nice places, at least within reason. Since it’s often not a clear-cut situation, trying to restrict travel could cause more problems than it would solve.
Conference proceedings papers usually count far less than journal papers for tenure and advancement. Someone looking to promote fake science would get more bang for the buck paying a predatory journal.
The problem of predatory journals is very real and threatens the credibility of our science. I think “vacation conferences” are largely a problem between employees, employers, and the tax collectors.

Comment on Obituary for an Open Access Journal by simonbatterbury
Roger – I agree. Subscription journals fail too. A free, no-budget volunteerist OA model can work fine in many cases. It just requires academics to be less precious about their time, and to commit to supporting such a journal with articles, editing and refereeing. Look at the rise of ours, also – Journal of Political Ecology. http://jpe.library.arizona.edu/

Comment on Higher Education Forum: 95% Vacation, 5% Scholarly Conference by AlexH
Conferences are all about networking and are not a tool of fattening our list of publications. With the exception of a few fast-evolving fields like computer science, proceedings publications (even those that are published as a special issue of a scholarly journal) count very little for promotion or grant committees. However -and this is the part where I must disagree with Ken-, fake conference proceedings pollutes scientific literature the same way as predatory journals does as they often give space to sub-par or even pseudoscience and grant an opportunity for citation manipulation. IMHO they are a very real threat to science even though misled or unethical authors are not able to profit from them as much as from predatory journal articles.

Comment on Lambert Academic Publishing: A Must to Avoid by Vanessa H
Just another data point (and to keep this blog at the top of the google search page…) – I just got contacted by them about a book review I’d written. They asked if I was the author of the book I’d reviewed (?!) and then if I’d like to publish a book with that title.
I’m not sure such a spam email could be more obvious, but clearly they’re sifting through published articles now, as well as targeting recent dissertations.

Comment on “Canadian” Open-Access Journal Doesn’t Look Very Canadian by tekija
The Canadian connection seems to be the Deputy Editor-in-Chief whom I was unable to find with Google.
The journal offers in house translation from Ukrainan or Russian to English and promises to run manuscripts through plagiarism detection software.
The title seems to paraphrase Canadian Journal of Science which is published in Canada. On balance, Journal of Ukrainian Studies is also a Canadian journal.
