What will the sting operation achieve other than forewarning the publisher to conceal the bogus nature of the operation more carefully and cleverly? There should be a follow up of some kind to bring the scamps to book. Every university must publicize Beall’s list (suitably updated) and tell their researchers that publication in those journals will fetch them negative notice among their peers.

I certainly hope (and believe) that no one at the institution where I received my undergrad or graduate degrees needs Beall’s list to tell them which journals are fake. You should narrow “every university”.

Comment on OMICS Group Now Charging for Article Withdrawals by Debabrata
Well at the out set I would state that I have nothing for OMICS. As a scientific author I steer clear of them. But what surprises me is the targeted vindictive attitude of this person towards OA publishers. So to open his white eyes here is a letter that our group received from one of his darlings, Elsevier. P.S. I have removed our names for obvious reasons. And if you have the courage please post this:
Thank you for submitting your paper “___” to Food Chemistry.I have read your manuscript and have found that unfortunately it does not fit within the scope of in Food Chemistry. As such your manuscript has been rejected for publication in our journal. ??
However, I do feel that your paper has merit and may be considered suitable for publication in Heliyon – Elsevier’s multidisciplinary open access journal.

__, Editorial Assistant for Heliyon, will reach out to you within the next few days to discuss how she can help facilitate the transfer of your article to the Heliyon editorial system. While this option does not necessarily guarantee that your paper will be published in Heliyon, it is our hope that this arrangement will help you find a suitable journal for your research and expedite the publication for your paper.
