Dear Bloggers! I have decided to drop a line here as well. My name is Piotr Romanowski and I work as a university professor. Moreover, I am hired by GAN from time to time to check the conference venue and help with the organization of the event once it has started. The association is registered in the UK and it is open to any scholars interested in cooperation. It’s true the website was designed in Poland. This was mainly due to the fact that such services are much cheaper there. I think that some people here try to depreciate our work. We have a list of devoted members published on the webpage who review submitted proposals. Our conferences are organized all over the world, which is possible thanks to the links we have made before. We NEVER EVER send emails in Polish. We always use English to communicate as this is the lingua franca of 21st century. We have a staff of dedicated officers in our headquarters in London, UK. Finally, we DO take money as all the conferences need some kind of budget and most of our participants pay 300$ or 400$. I have myself been to similar conferences where registration fees were much higher.

Comment on Another Conference Organizer to Avoid: Global Academic Network by M. Yusuf EREN
I participated to the GAN conference with my colleague at Los Angeles few months ago. It was a great academic experience for us. I am still in contact with the lecturers which I met there. I think you’re a little unfair.

At once, I attended to Global Academic Network Conference in Tokyo in April 2014. I met many scholars from many countries. I was enjoying an activity at Conference because I had new friends and share new knowledge academic network.

Comment on Beall’s List of Predatory Publishers 2015 by Jeffrey Beall
1. New Delhi Publishers = This publisher is included on my publisher list here.
2. A and V Publications = This is a subscription publisher, so it’s not eligible for my list.
3. Renu Publishers (https://renupublishers.com/) included on my publisher list here.
4. ARSEAM (http://www.arseam.com/) = This is a low quality publisher. To access the published content, one has to create a user name and password and then sign in. This makes the content essentially hidden and not open-access by definition. Anyone publishing in this publisher’s four “International” journals is essentially hiding his work from the world (but that may be the point for some).

Obviously Dr Brumback merely *faked* his death so that he could devote all his efforts to editing “American Journal of Medical Sciences and Medicine” without arousing the suspicion of his enemies.

Comment on Predatory Journal is Hijacked by J.J.
Henry is right. Don’t compromise your career by following the hype, publish in respected, subscription-based journals from reputable publishers like Elsevier, WK, Karger, Springer, etc. You can make your work freely accessible by uploading pre-prints on your institution’s website, or sending it to people who ask by email.

Comment on Another Conference Organizer to Avoid: Global Academic Network by Mehmet Akkurt
I would prefer to be called an academic or an academician rather than a crowd. I think we all deserve at least that much respect to be addressed as such, Peace Mr/Mrs.Zealot.
I also hope you will have the opportunity to attend one of GAN conferences to be able to justly criticise these events. It is unfortunate that people can raise their opinion regarding everything regardless of being familiar with the subject being criticised.

1/ “crowd = a group or set of persons with something in common” , could be a theatre crowd or academic crowd, or any other crowd without any offensive meaning, hence no harm to academic respect done nor intended… can be confirmed in any decent English dictionary
2/ as for these events – thanks, I’ll stick to other “opportunities”, I’ve been in academia long enough, but that is solely my choice
3/ its Mrs btw

Comment on Predatory Journal Lists Murdered Doctor as Its Editor-in-Chief by JATdS
Springer journal In Vitro Cellular and Developmental Biology – Plant, had still listed Prof. Atsushi Komamime on its editor board in February 2015 even though he had passed away in 2011. Only after insistent complaints to the EIC and Springer in February 2015 did finally, the editor board get updated sometime between April and June 2015. I ask, how is it possible that no editor board members, specifically the former EIC, Dr. John Finer, noticed this serious irregularity? Also, how did the plant science community not notice this? So, the phenomenon of using dead scientists to promote one’s image is certainly not limited to the predatory OA journals.

Comment on Another Conference Organizer to Avoid: Global Academic Network by Derek
I find it interesting that for a week after the blog post, no one who had attended the conferences happened to see the blog post and made a reply. Then all of a sudden, between 4:07 PM on July 6 and 1:31 AM on July 7, several people who happened to attend the conferences happened to independently see the blog post and decided to post responses. Assuming the Poison distribution would govern when such people would happen to see the blog, one could work out the probability of such timing. Hmm….

Comment on Predatory Journal Lists Murdered Doctor as Its Editor-in-Chief by Doctor
“This publisher is exploiting the open-access publishing model only to earn easy money from researchers and should be avoided.”
Dear Jeffrey Beall
Do you have evidence for these words?
Let’s give you an example:
Bio Med Central publication fee = £ 1,000
Hidawi publication free = 600-1000 $
SciePub publication free:
Low-income economies – (39) $120.00 (02/01/2015 ~ 07/31/2015)
Lower-middle-income economies – (48) $150.00 (02/01/2015 ~ 07/31/2015)
Upper-middle-income economies – (73) $250.00 (02/01/2015 ~ 07/31/2015)
High-income economies – (84) $320.00 (02/01/2015 ~ 07/31/2015)
For this to understand that “This publisher is exploiting the open-access publishing model only to earn easy money from researchers and should be avoided.”? But what about Bio Med Central publication fee = £ 1,000 or Hidawi publication free = 600-1000 $?
Mistake of the SCIEPUB is regrettable, they did not know. It is normal to be mistakes because they are beginners, But for your words “This publisher is exploiting the open-access publishing model only to earn easy money from researchers and should be avoided.” , PROF.BEALL PLEASE PRESENT ME YOUR EVIDENCE.
