This is one of two journals published by the amateurish and low-quality publisher called Science Signpost Publishing Inc. (SSPub). I recommend that you ignore this journal and the other one from this publisher.

Comment on Guest Editing a Special Issue with MDPI: Evidences of Questionable Actions by the Publisher by Isack
With the exception of a few names, most of the editorial board of ISPRS is relatively unknown, “recognized body” or “renowned scholars” is not correct. These are just the ones who accepted the random invitations massively sent by mdpi.
Anyway, as pointed out by Manf, even their flagship journals (Molecules and IJMS) have a very high percentage of articles flawed and out of the journal’s scope.
If you would like to be known within the scientific community for only be able to publish your work with a highly questionable journal/publisher, it’s up to you.
For me, that’s not the kind of recognition I want.

Comment on List of Predatory Publishers 2014 by OB_1
Our group published in ISRN Ecology (now called Int National Research Notices with many subjects), because at the time the journal was offering free papers and so we gave them a try.
Turns out – we were rather impressed with the peer review, the reviewers, whether suggested or from the journal editorial board, were obviously knowledgeable of the subject and provided excellent comments and suggestions. Noteworthy, we had the same experience with mdpi publishers on a different paper. These journals are on the improve, hope they keep it up.

Dear Sir,
I have noticed that “International Journal of Computer Networks and Applications (IJCNA)” has been indexed in Scholarly Open Access blog. May I know what are the quality standards of IJCNA in the field of research?
Journal Url: http://www.ijcna.org
Kindly write reply to this.
Thanks in advance.

Right, and I <a href="http://www.ijcna.org/editorial.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">see </a>that you are the journal's managing editor. Why are you associated with such a low quality journal? Why was this journal launched when there are already dozens if not hundreds of OA journals on the same topic? What type of digital preservation does the journal use?

Comment on Guest Editing a Special Issue with MDPI: Evidences of Questionable Actions by the Publisher by tekija
This is an interesting and relevant question. The official ISPRS journal is nevertheless by Elsevier:
http://www.journals.elsevier.com/isprs-journal-of-photogrammetry-and-remote-sensing/
and
http://www.isprs.org/isprsjournal/
However, Isack probably errs in his comment above, so I side with solihu in this matter.
ISPRS has several publications. The MDPI journal is a recent (2012) “joint publication” between ISPRS and MDPI:
http://www.isprs.org/publications/
I would expect that this means that ISPRS runs the journal and in this spwcific instance, MDPI just provides the technical publishing. Thus the editorial board most likely was complied and is overviewed by ISPRS and was not invited by MDPI spams. I understand they spammed this offer at one time – and perhaps still do – to a wide variety of scholarly societies as one means of increasing their revenue, but not many societies seem to have entered such a partnership.
In fact the publisher still has this on their web site:
“MDPI always welcomes suggestions for new journals in any research area. We are also open for publishing collaborations with research societies. Please send your publishing proposals to the Publishers, Dr. Shu-Kun Lin with a copy to Dietrich Rordorf.”
The ISPRS MDPI journal does not have an IF so far although a number of MDPI journals have it:
http://www.mdpi.com/about/announcements/720
but it is indexed in SCI Expanded.

Comment on Guest Editing a Special Issue with MDPI: Evidences of Questionable Actions by the Publisher by tekija
The point is that without concrete examples from Jerry’s finds his comment
“In the case of MDPI, there are some excellent papers in the journals I’m familiar with, and it seems extremely damaging to denigrate this work by listing the publisher.”
can equally well be a hyperbole than a convincing argument.

Comment on Guest Editing a Special Issue with MDPI: Evidences of Questionable Actions by the Publisher by Jerry
There are quite a few good papers in Remote Sensing, for instance, certainly worth the relatively high impact factor (for a specialty topic journal) of over 2.5. Take Pinzon & Tucker’s 2014 article on AVHRR, with 31 citations already; or Cook et al.’s 2013 article on NASA Goddard’s sensors, cited by 20 already; or Zhu et al.’s 2013 article on LAI, cited by 65. I can’t evaluate a lot of the MDPI journals — there really are so many that frankly I don’t have a lot of faith in the lot — but authors publishing in journals like Remote Sensing shouldn’t be brought down by association.

Yes, both the <em>International Journal of Current Research in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences</em> (IJCRCPS) and the <em>International Journal of Pharmacy & Industrial Research</em> (IJPIR) are included on my list, and I recommend that you not send any papers to these two journals.
