Comments for Scholarly Open Access

There is an authentic Sylwan and a hijacked one. The authentic one is respected. Be careful to avoid the hijacked version of this journal.

[…] Betty Jones & Sisters: Jeffrey Beall reports on a new publisher with a strange name. […]

If it is not your paper, your name should not be on it.

You just changed one form of scientific misconduct (plagiarism) into another form of research misconduct by the Editor-in-Chief (=you) – adding your name to a paper without providing an intellectual contribution.

So, will you retract? You can easily check my claims of plagiarism.

I would also like an answer how a 3-page paper supposedly submitted January 12 contains two paragraphs that are cut-and-pasted from a January *13* press release.

No need to apologize. I basically agree with you. Google scholar is more popularly marketed, however.

Thanks -- the publisher SCITECH is included on my list <a href="http://scholarlyoa.com/publishers/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

both of them have one contact information
so they’re for one person

Given that Springer already publishes a “Journal of Mathematical Sciences”, I have to wonder why Springer could not go after them for trademark infringement.

It seems you were right Dr Bimler. According to the brief reply that I got, the ArXiv author indeed had been contacted and, apparently, he thought it was a legitimate journal that he found bona fide indexed by the same title.

Based on that information, it may thus be he confused it with this genuine Springer publication with exatly the same name: http://link.springer.com/journal/10958

Let’s wait what Neurosceptic learns about the other paper.

I really think academic institutions should consider making it mandatory for their faculty to look through the Beall’s list and blog from time to time, just to remain aware of certain pitfalls out there.

Copying somebody’s stuff and “publishing” it in own “journal”??
This is outrageous!

Papers from their “Global Journal of Nursing and Midwifery” seem to be lifted wholesale from the “International Journal of Nursing and Midwifery” by academicJournals.

e.g. http://globalscienceresearchjournals.org/full-articles/nursing-informatics-a-key-to-improving-nursing-practice-in-nigeria.pdf?view=inline is a copy of http://www.academicjournals.org/article/article1379433619_Daniel%20and%20Oyetunde.pdf

and http://globalscienceresearchjournals.org/full-articles/nursing-education-and-workforce-development-implications-for-maternal-health-in-anambra-state-nigeria.pdf?view=inline is a copy of http://www.academicjournals.org/article/article1379433675_Adika%20et%20al.pdf

Oops! The second one is actually a copy of: http://www.academicjournals.org/article/article1379422806_Ezeonwu.pdf

Thank you for the wonderful work you are doing to the academic environment.
I have been bitten before by publishing in one of the predatory journals. Now I am extremely careful.
Kindly give me insights into whether Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research and International Archives of Medicine are predatory journals.
Thank you.

While I’m uncertain if the above image is used on any other websites, I did notice it here on the site for Bard and Didriksen Pediatrics in Illinois after a quick Google search for ‘pediatrics':

No connection to the publisher Global Researchers Journals (whom you have covered in the past for having skeevy activities of their own). GRJ are actually members of COPE. The present GSRJ <i>claim</i> on their website to have joined COPE and be bound by COPE ethics, but COPE themselves have no record of this.

I am SHOCKED to see one predatory journal ripping off another predatory journal. Is there no honour?!

There may be 100 journals in the stable, but surprisingly many of them have <a href="https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=AgreAcademic+BaileyAcademic++PinedaAcademic&client=firefox-a&hs=9KE&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=sb&filter=0&biw=1024&bih=609" rel="nofollow">identical badly-formatted editorial boards</a>.
