Comment on List of Predatory Publishers 2014 by Mike Potegal
Austin Publishing website had the pricing info under the menu item “pricing” at the bottom of the page-which is where i found the $2000 price. As of today (12/2/15) when you click on this it takes you to “Privacy”
Has anyone received a message from a law firm demanding payment for an article published in an Austin journal? My guess is that this outfit is too poor to pursue the legal approach

I had not heard of this journal before. It has some major problems. I have documented these problems and added it to my list. I recommend you find a better journal for your work. Thank you.

This journal’s publisher is Scientific & Academic Publishing. I think it’s a weak publisher, not a good venue for honest scholarly research. I recommend that you find a journal from a better publisher for your work.

This reminds me of the “take paid surveys” system, where most respondents are coming from third world countries and only paying attention to the first few questions to make sure they does not get screened out. I’m pretty sure that would be the same with these “peer reviews” too.

“credit will be transfer to your bank account.” So you would need to provide them with your bank account info. Part 2 of the scam.

Comment on Open-Access Journal Offers to Pay Peer Reviewers by Dave Long
Dear Mr. Beall. You mentioned in last post that Thomson Reuters listing is not an indicator of quality. What is your opinion about Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) by ed.gov, ERIHPLUS by ESF/NSD and Inspec by The IET, and journals indexed/abstracted by these databases/services? Scholars in US AU, EU and CIS region respect these services. What do you think?

Right, I understand that some prefer to use whitelists, and this is fine.

Comment on Open-Access Journal Offers to Pay Peer Reviewers by Derek
Actually, some legitimate journals do pay referees who get reviews submitted by deadlines. One is the Journal of Banking and Finance. See https://www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-of-banking-and-finance/0378-4266/guide-for-authors#3501. However, $7 would be more of an insult than “tokens of appreciation”, to use JBF’s description. Seven dollars would only attract people willing to accept everything without looking at the papers submitted.

Comment on The International Journal of Simulation Modelling: A Review by LF
No offense meant but I think the arguments you’ve presented against this journal are weak.
First three paragraphs don’t deal with the journal specifically. Fourth paragraph says EUR 690 is a high article processing charge, which it isn’t: in fact it is quite low. For comparison Elsevier usually charges in the vicinity of USD 3000 for open access, World Scientific charges around USD 1500, etc. EUR 690 is well on the low end.
Fifth paragraph I don’t understand. Since the journal is delayed open access, of course for the first year only subscribers can access the articles. I don’t understand how that is indicative of low quality. The sixth paragraph claims that the DAAM lies about its location, which I agree is a hallmark of predatory publishers, but doesn’t offer any evidence.
Then you write about the Editorial Board. I can agree that not having institutions is suspicious, but it’s by no means conclusive. I went ahead and Googled one of the names on the board, Vlatka Hlupic, and promptly found her university page: http://www.westminster.ac.uk/about-us/our-people/directory/hlupic-professor-vlatka. She is indeed based in London. I don’t see why this would be illegitimate.
Next you write about the impact factor, which at 2.083 is fairly high, but didn’t dispute its legitimacy. There are plenty of reputable journals indexed by JCR, and I don’t see why this indicates the journal is low quality. Finally you write about the possibility of sponsorship, which is absolutely a good thing! If the journal finds revenue elsewhere, it’s able to keep its publication fees down and still turn a profit. It’s not like the journal is charging APCs of 3000+ USD while still selling sponsorship, so I again don’t view this badly.
With no offense meant, I am unconvinced that this journal is low-quality or even borderline. It looks perfectly legitimate to me.
