They’re only one step away; they already post pictures and names of well-known or at least established (often at American and European universities) researchers to their ‘editorial board’ and ‘list of peer reviewers’. The only thing preventing them from charging those people to have their information taken down is that they may fear crossing the line to blackmail and extortion (relative terms here–they already do extortion pretty well in other contexts)

Comment on New Open-Access Publisher Launches with Fake Scholarly Articles by MC
“But we should think humanly. A good critic should think about all aspects of a particular issue. Atleast give a chance to new publishers, If they will not compete, market will kick them out……”
Beall never said anything about ‘not giving new publishers a chance to compete’. He advocates for a fair “market” (just as you claim to), and he does NOT somehow reduce or remove the ability of new publishers to compete by publishing this blog. You won’t be able to show me any evidence to contrary.
In fact, Beall’s List and his blog serve to maintain fairness in the so-called “market”, as he routinely points out (what should be and often are) illegal business practices. The only thing Beall hopes to “occlude” is the flow of new useless, fake, and pointless journals that will never have any following, respect, or serve any purpose. They are a total waste of space and only serve to trick inexperienced researchers into giving up money, and to artificially advance the careers of scientists who need “publications” to get to the next step.
There are plenty of successful, newer journals that have launched in all fields of science and technology. I suggest you look to some of these success stories to understand how legitimate journals launch and become respected by true academics, and not fringe scientists trying to get academic awards at fringe institutions.

Comment on Watch Out for Publishers with “Nova” in Their Name by MC
Of course, when you have 100 or so journals to you name, they better all be popular (else you have to cut back to 80 or so)

Probably not fake (but the Elsevier page for information on the journal returns a 404). There’s got to be a better choice, however.

You may want to look into a publication called the “Super Professors Review.” The contact is a person calling himself Steven Lewis.

Atleast give a chance to them to show some progress.
That is an interesting excuse for starting out with plagiarism, lies and fraud… any change has to be an improvement!

From my experience with them (some years ago) I do not think WSEAS would hold on to your paper the way some of the really dubious operators do, so you may well be able to withdraw it. Certainly worth trying.
Maybe you could share how it goes here too.

Comment on OA Publisher with a Long, Strange Name is Based in a Place with a Long, Strange Name by MC
While it is an excellent point that Staff Pharmacists are particularly knowledgeable and well trained, I don’t necessarily think that they should be peer-reviewing articles. Does each Pharmacist have access to the subscription-based journals they would need in order to see what has/has not been done in the field so far, to critically evaluate the article they are reviewing? Who provides access to the literature? Are Pharmacists actively keeping up with journals reporting on primary research in the fields of pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, etc.? I agree that these experts are technically proficient, but I don’t know that they are appropriate sources for academic peer review.

Just because of this provocative comment, I decided to go and find some more plagiarized papers on “Sanford Inter Science Press” and I will then email the original authors to let them know about it.

Comment on OA Publisher to Peer Reviewer: Never Mind by Chico Artemias
I also received a request from Partha Dey to review a manuscript (for British Journal of Medicine and Medical Research). Before replying, I found this site, read the comments, and noticed there were some indicating this publisher/editor has improved. As a result, I indicated I would agree to review the manuscript and added that I would do so ONLY if they would accept my review if submitted within the requested 14 day period (I included the URL for this site in my reply and mentioned I was aware of this issue); if he couldn’t make that guarantee then I wasn’t interested. I received a reply with instructions on completing the review (no mention was made of my caveat). Three days later I received an email indicating they had received the minimum number of reviews and so mine was no longer needed.
I’m sharing my experience to refute any idea that this publisher has improved in their abuse of reviewers. I don’t care how common this practice is, it’s still unethical.
Add my voice to those who urge others to not review manuscripts for this publisher. It is the only way to change their behavior.
