Comments for Scholarly Open Access

ScienceDomain is on my list here.<a href="http://scholarlyoa.com/publishers/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"></a> (It's easy to miss because of the lack of a space). I do recommend not submitting papers to this publisher's journals. You will probably want to find a stronger publisher for your work.

The move to OA is positive. A locked-up journal is an inferior thing. If the editors screw that up by not soliciting good manuscripts, that is a wholly different issue. Also, OJS is what there is and what we use. How is it ‘barely functional’ ?

Hi
Could you advise whether this conference would be legit to present at http://iafor.org/conferences/iicehawaii2016/

My friend is also a victim of this fake journal

Dear Jeffrey Beall. Could you check the Journal of Advances in Mathematics. This journal looks like the predatory publisher. For example, the journal has Fast Track Review. Thank you for your time.

thank you again – I just got an invitation as editor from SciResLit… but since following you and Retraction Watch my looking at journal homepages has become much more – well, carefully observant than before.

Can you send the link please, so I am sure I know exactly which journal you are referring to.

Please see <a href="http://scholarlyoa.com/2015/05/26/watch-out-for-publishers-with-nova-in-their-name/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

Indeed, it is a sea of shameless ineptitude and greed. I feel sorry for the hopefully few who will accept to serve in these journals’ editorial boards or to contribute manuscripts. We need to restore honor and dignity to the work of science and academia. Thanks for being vigilant, Jeffrey.

This may be a for-profit conference held in a tourist spot.
I would recommend that you find a conference organized by a non-profit scholarly society in your field or discipline.
Hawaii is an expensive place to visit.

The criteria for inclusion on the lists can be found <a href="https://scholarlyoa.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/criteria-2015.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I recommend you publish your work in journals and publishers that are not on the lists.

Thanks for alerting me to this publisher. I am adding it to my list; it is very unprofessional and not a good place for honest researchers to publish their research works.
