I hope CrazyDomains, GoDaddy and Network Solutions take strict action on Austin Group (http://austinpublishinggroup.org/). Their action depend on the quantity and seriousness of complaints they receive. Thus, authors cheated by the Austin Group should write to these domain registrars.

Comment on Chinese Journal Has Surprise Author Fee But Gives Refund if You Cite Your Article Six Times by LeiaSunesson
Another typical case of lost in translations… The English standard in Chinese academia could definitely use more boost. While most Chinese researchers could more or less get the descriptive message through, they have yet to understand to communicate in a diplomatic way that won’t carry along misinterpretations. Personally I don’t think their (now-eliminated) policy is coercive citation, it’s a lure but not coercion. Monetary incentive from the journal is nothing compared to career-enhancing statistics such as H-index. Strong incentives for researchers to self-cite existed since long and will continue until we somehow completely change the model of evaluating scientific productivity. What DEUS ex MACHINA described was a typical example of coercive citation, the one at CCL, not so much.

Did you transfer copyright of the article to the publisher during the submission process? If yes, then it is a difficult situation.

Comment on Another Open-Access Innovation: Article Brokers by tekija
Retraction watch now mentions that these brokers/editing services may provide fake reviews that ensure paper acceptance – unbeknownst to the authors. This still leads to retraction of course, as a surprise to the same authors.

This journal is published by a company called Wireilla Scientific Publications. I have this company included on my list <a href="http://scholarlyoa.com/publishers/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I recommend that you not submit your work to this journal. I recommend that you find a higher quality journal for your research. Good luck.

Comment on The OMICS Publishing Group’s Empire is Expanding by Ina.edu
Surely, AUSTIN & SM GROUPS are REAL CHEATERS. Austin Group invited me as editor and requested article. Promised me free of cost publication. I devoted my time and sent a case study paper. After publication they raised invoices and persistently demanded payment. They are not allowing me to withdraw the manuscript. They take weeks to months to respond back. It is good that discussion is going on at your blog. WE NEED TO BLOCK THESE FRAUD PUBLISHERS LIKE AUSTIN & SM GROUPS. PLEASE PROVIDE SOME SUGGESTIONS TO HANDLE THESE GUYS.

Stormy, “Nick Torrens” at Austin Publishing is probably a made up name. You may ask “Nick Torrens” and his colleagues at Austin for a video conferencing with you on Skype or ask “Nick Torrens” and colleagues to provide copies of their US ID (passport/driving license). You will find that all the promises from Austin are fake. Would you mind sharing your expereince and email communciations with Austin group? It will help other authors not to fall prey to the AUSTIN PUBLISHING GROUP.

Comment on Is SciELO a Publication Favela? by arrodrigo88
I think that Mr. Jeffrey Beall not researched enough about the SciELO and Redalyc to say what he is saying. These Meta-publishers plafatormas differ much from open-acess predatory publishers. And they work exactly contrary to what the teacher says. SciELO and Redalyc have helped the Brazilian and Latin researchers in the projection of their research internationally. Perhaps Mr. Jeffrey Beall has some trouble visualize this scenario because it ignores the reality of our countries regarding scientific publishing, placing your look only within the United States.

Comment on Is SciELO a Publication Favela? by Jeffrey Beall
I did not compare SciELO to a predatory publisher. Quite the opposite — I compared it to commercial scholarly publishing platforms and showed how it comes up short, disadvantaging the authors and readers. I asked a critical question and got mostly attacks in return, and I have learned more about the etiology of the slow pace of development in Latin America through this experience.

Hi, Benno,
Hmmm, let me think about this for a minute.

No! Not predatory!
It’s expensive because open-access focuses the costs on the few authors of each issue. (Didn’t the open-access zealots warn you about this? They didn’t?) Subscription publishing spreads out the costs, making individual costs cheaper and supporting the many value added features available through publisher platforms.
I added your email to their database!
Take care,
Jeffrey
