ScopeMed is out of scope for inclusion on my list. It’s more of an aggregator than a publisher.

The second one, Journal Of Advance Researches In Biological Sciences, is not on my list.
Can you send a link to the first one so I am sure I know exactly which journal you are talking about?

I’ve added Statperson Publishing Corporation to my publisher list.
I’ve added International Journal of Medical Research to my standalone journal list.
I recommend avoiding both and finding a better publisher.

Comment on Is SciELO a Publication Favela? by Pero Šipka
What about non-commercial OA meta-publishers, such as national citation databases providers in small, developing countries?
One of those, CEON/CEES that publishes the Serbian Citation Index (scindeks.ceon.rs), adds more value to the papers than commercial publishers/aggregators: by providing standard visibility, searchability and downlodability, plus by normalizing author names and affiliations, by linking references both internally and externally, by checking legitimacy of references in all and plagiarism in some papers, and more. Journals are monitored, evaluated and ranked. Those violating ethical codes are suppressed or suspended more strictly and transparently than done by Web of Science.
CEON/CEES is a non-for-profit organization, and SCIndeks is an OA service. Journals pay the average amount equivalent to 300 USD a year for the whole job. Would any commercial aggregator do it?
I would say that the question of “publication favelas” (raised for good reason and quite properly labeled) is a matter of public responsibility, academic virtue, and business ethics, rather than commercial vs. non-commercial, or OA vs. subscription-based dichotomy.
Comment on Is SciELO a Publication Favela? by Jeffrey Beall
Few people in North America have ever heard of it.
I imagine it’s subsidized by the government, so of course the price will be lower.
Comment on Is SciELO a Publication Favela? by Pero Šipka
May be true for the American publication specialists. However, among our 1.500 to 9.000 visitors a day about 2% come from US and Canada. This figures would be bigger if we were treated fairly by Google Scholar. Also, we are not much active in promoting the service and its business model. Thanks for the push.
As to the government support, it lasted for over ten years, and was recently cancelled due to the budget cuts. Now they support our Journal Evaluation Report only. Sharing production charges between government research fund and journal publishers seems to be a reasonable financing framework that can be recommended to other small countries, where OA is a must, i.e. the only plausible model for research dissemination.

Neither one, in my opinion.
