Dear Dr Jeffrey Beall,
Could you kindly advise whether the International Academic Conference on Teaching, Learning and E-learning in Budapest 2016, Hungary (IAC-TLEl 2016 in Budapest) is predatory.

Best regards,
Bee

Do you think this conference is OK to join?

There is a recent posting of science journalist Leonid Schneider on this topic. His posting can be found at https://forbetterscience.wordpress.com/2015/10/28/is-frontiers-a-potential-predatory-publisher/

Dear Jeffrey, Thank you very much for this useful information. Infact, I have published with Lambert several materials. Kindly, as a scholar I will never give up, but provide me with a list of credible publishers s that I can present my materials even the ones I had presented to Lambert.

Kind regards

Sage is announcing an open-access journal. It will be useful to see a list of credible open-access journal. Perhaps Professor Beall can give some example(s) particular in the field on business, management, and economics(?)

I would very much appreciate if Prof. Beall can provide reputable journals in the field of Management, business, and economics. I want to publish my materials immediately with reputable publishers.

Caren Ouma,

The company is registered in UK; however, the emails, which I traced few days back, are coming in from Hyderabad. I doubt if they’re even based in UK. The most pathetically fascinating thing is that all the emails are coming from Robert Rae.

Dear Dr Beall,
Whether the articles that have been published in journals that are non legitimately be published in another journal that legitimate ?. Explain to me

[…] di plagio evidente già dal titolo del paper, dopo quello di uno "spazzatura" di cui parlava due settimane fa. Di nuovo, il doppione (iraniano) è stato pubblicato a pochi mesi di distanza dall'originale […]

I just noticed a spam email about the International Journal of Arts and Humanities (http://ijah.cgrd.org/). The email has the name Beverly Kracher prepended to the address editor.ijah@cgrd.org. Dr. Kracher is said to be the Director of CGRD. But, ironically, she’s the President and Executive Director of Business Ethics Alliance and Robert B. Daugherty Endowed Chair in Business Ethics & Society at Creighton University. Her CV makes no mention of any connection with CGRD and a Google search for pages containing both her name, in quotes, and either CGRD or “Center for Global Research Development” turns up only three pages: two on the CGRD site itself and one with a PDF of an email supposedly from her with the title “spam emails”, on the site …scholarlyoa.files.wordpress.com… In addition, the journal, which appears to be a (purposely?) badly synced continuation of Online International Journal of Arts and Humanities (http://www.onlineresearchjournals.org/IJAH/, in the Online Research Journals fleet), (a) is said to have an ISSN that appears not to actually exist; (b) lacks an editorial management system, as evidenced by the fact that if you click on Submit Paper, you see a page that simply says to email your submission to editor.ijah@cgrd.org; (c) claims that the review process will be completed within 10 days; (d) lists the deadline for submitting an article to the December issue as November 20 (in the same year); and (e) has a prominently displayed counter of page hits that is synced with those on the CGRD pages and the pages of other journals in the CGRD fleet and is provided by Freecounterstat (http://www.freecounterstat.com/instructions-modif.php), which allows page owners to add any number to the actual count.
