Comment on Beall’s List of Predatory Publishers 2015 by Andy
Hi AhmadI;
If you consider a big name as Elsevier to be predatory, i doubt if you will have any international publisher of any worth. Having a journal University-based ( especially in Africa) is no gurantee of quality; All of us know the interpersonal squables and pressure that comes up, when change of grade in our universities is imminent, coupled with the time factor to do reviewing. Not to talk of financing regular production. Probably it might be better to consider this issue on a case to case basis that generalize111

I think it’s negligent. It meets the criteria for inclusion in my list.
It’s also comical; it’s the only “quartely” [sic] I know of that publishes six issues per year.

I’ve added this journal to my list. Thank you for alerting me to it.

This journal is published by the Hyderabad, India-based publisher called JSciMed Central. This publisher is on my list and is dangerous. I recommend you decline the invitation.
Comment on Bogus Iran-Based Journal Allows Up to 40% Plagiarism by Neuroskeptic (@Neuro_Skeptic)
They’ve now added a new policy to their homepage: “Papers with more than 20% of Plagiarism will REJECT.”
Comment on Bogus Iran-Based Journal Allows Up to 40% Plagiarism by Keith Fraser
The papers themselves will reject? Reject what? Publication? Their authors? “You’re not my real dad! You stole me from Strudebaker et al!”
Comment on MIT Journal Hijacked by Eduardo G P Fox
Hello Nihal,
I have published two papers in “Psyche: A Journal of Entomology”. I regret having done it, thus I recommend you publish elsewhere.
I went for them as old Psyche used to be a very good journal, and I saw reputed colleagues publishing on it. Moreover I was invited to publish on special issues, with no charge.
However I feel my papers were not valued there by anyone, and response from readers very limited as a reflex. They had no impact factor after having promised me to get one; they had no editor-in-chief to consult with. Even downloading (old)Psyche past issues is not easy from their website since searching is complicated.
There are other open-access options in entomology, in my opinion.
Comment on Bogus Iran-Based Journal Allows Up to 40% Plagiarism by Neuroskeptic (@Neuro_Skeptic)
Oh, never mind, the 20% message is gone now.
Along with one of their papers which was retracted within 5 minutes of me e-mailing them evidence (if only other journals were so fast).

I would aim for Journal of ethnobiology and ethnomedicine or Journal of Ethnobiology or Economic Botany.
Comment on Questionable OA Publisher Launches with a Clever Website and 52 New Journals by Dr. Jorge Trujillo, DNP
Also, a recent victim. My eagerness to get my work published was the culprit of me not further investigating the website. As stated, looks professional. I received the acceptance email and the scheduled publication date (December 31, 2015) with applicable Vol. number. Well no publication and my emails for status have remained unanswered. Yes, I paid the fees. I was scammed.
What can be done to stop these people?

International Journal on Spirituality and Organizational Leadership http://isol.asia/publications/
The fun per se is here: http://isol.asia/people/advisory-council/
[Probably they do not publish anymore, but it is possible to find people who promote themselves with the published articles.]
Comment on Fringe Scientist Named Editor-in-Chief of OMICS Astrobiology Journal by Marco
Can’t resist to point out that they claim Gold Open Access in their “About” pages, but have a copyright transfer form that places any and all rights in the hands of the publisher…
