Comment on OA Publisher to Peer Reviewer: Never Mind by Blazeyastic
Dear Beall,
Establish a publishing company for journal papers so that every paper on Beall’s publishing company will be the best. If I may advice also, don’t charge for publication and it should be free for readers and scholars to have and work with. I think that will be a welcome idea and it will definitely remove or end the life sperm of most of the listed fake journals in your list.
Beall have all the tricks of this fake journals everywhere hence, his own established journals which should cut across all fields will be rated standard, thanks.
Just a kind opinion.

Comment on Beall’s List of Predatory Publishers 2015 by Psychonaut
Please consider reviewing ibai publishing [1] and its journals [2,3,4] for inclusion in your lists. I have been mercilessly spammed by this publisher, and on finally checking their website today I see they have several publications with covers made up to look like Springer journals. The journals all list ibai’s owner, “Prof.” Petra Perner, as editor-in-chief. (I have been unable to locate any evidence that she holds or has ever held a professorship anywhere.) The journals all charge outrageous publication fees — €1500 for unsolicited submissions, and incredibly €1050 even for “invited papers”(!) — with assignment of copyright to the publisher. Subscription fees are €100 for one or two issues per year, each containing just two articles (sometimes both authored by Perner herself). The calls for papers I receive include copious advertising for ibai’s own conferences, tutorials, and workshops, whose attendance fees are ten to a hundred times higher than even the most prestigious ones in my field.

Comment on Why Researchers Should Avoid the Clute “Institute” by ferret
Thank you for this. I actually had a paper accepted for their 2015 conference, but realised it wasn’t legit when I saw what they even charge speakers for participating. With the $400 conference fee (and that’s early bird rates!), plus the cost of travel and accommodation (of which none is reimbursed by Clute), I would be out of pocket by at least $1000. It is not normal practice for academic institutions to charge for speakers to participate; speaker costs are normally covered by delegate fees. I bet they accept everyone regardless of paper quality. Staying away!

Comment on Joseph Publishing Group Launches with 17 New Biomedical Sciences Journals by Ricardo
Dear Dr Beall
I have serious concerns about a new book edited by Said Gaci and Olga Hachay titled <em>Advances in Data, Methods, Models and Their Applications in Oil/Gas Exploratio</em>n.
The book is published Under Science Publishing Group SPG
<a href="http://www.sciencepublishinggroup.com/book/B-978-1-940366-20-3.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.sciencepublishinggroup.com/book/B-978-1-940366-20-3.aspx</a>
The book contains 11 chapters 03 are authored by one of the editors. Three chapters are authored by students and they added no thing to the literature.
The book shows really a very bad level and reflects really the reputation of Science Publishing Group.
Mr Beall, please comment.

Thank you for this review of the book. I do have Science Publishing Group included on my list, and I am not surprised that they have published a low-quality book. Their journals are also low quality and full of junk science. Thanks again.
