Comments for Scholarly Open Access

Thank you — I have added this very bogus “Society” to my list.
It is the so-called Australian Society for Commerce Industry & Engineering (SCIE), and it is completely bogus.
Many thanks for alerting me to it.

I could not find enough evidence for an original journal, so I am adding this to my list of standalone journals here: <a href="http://scholarlyoa.com/individual-journals/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://scholarlyoa.com/individual-journals/</a> Thank you.

WOAH!!! JPEE used point 6 above when I asked them about their impact factor!!!

Sir, the International Journal of Energy and Energy Technology is on your list, as a Stand Alone predatory journal but ASSE, its publisher, is not.
Also publication there is free and I have (i) traced, through their host institutions and (ii) contacted most of those on the various levels of the editorship.
To me it seems to fail your criteria. What other aspects actually still satisfy your criteria.
Thank you for the marvelous job you are doing to the academia.

When I added the <em>International Journal of Energy & Technology</em>, it looked <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20141217133528/http://journal-enertech.eu/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">like this</a>, and did not have any mention of ASSE as its publisher. I actually do have the American Society of Science and Engineering included on my list of publishers <a href="http://scholarlyoa.com/publishers/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Thank you.

Thank you. I have analyzed this journal and added it to my list. It boasts a fake impact factor.

Actually, I already have. This publisher changed its name. It was called Interdisciplinary Publications. Now it is Progressive Academic Publishing. I have made the change on my list. Thank you.

I don’t know prof. Hunt (the nominal editor of the journal), but his response seems a bit peculiar to me. Why not resign immediately? Being editor-in-chief without any control over the contents of the journal is a big personal risk, I would say.

I have added this journal's publisher, International Skill Research Journals, to my list <a href="http://wp.me/P280Ch-u" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I could not confirm this as a hijacking, but it is a very low quality publisher.

This case is already included on my list <a href="http://scholarlyoa.com/other-pages/hijacked-journals/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

This does appear to be a case of journal hijacking, and I have added it to the list.

Dear Jeffrey Beall,
you do the good healing work.

What do you think about the OA-resource http://www.hindawi.com ?

Do you agree with the fact that it is the object of your investigations and interests – this is the whole empire of chargeable journals that publish and re-publish articles for money…?

I have analyzed the open-access publisher Hindawi before, but I do not find that it meets the criteria for inclusion on my list. I do receive many inquiries about it, however.

This one is already included on the list. Thanks.

How about this International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications

I have this journal included on my list <a href="http://scholarlyoa.com/individual-journals/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here </a>and recommend that you not submit any papers to it.

Someone finds Joseph, please! They are lost, less than ten days after publishing your report!(25/4/2015)
