Many thanks for your work so far!
Also, I noticed that this year you have not put a link to the criteria (I found it, just saying it would be nice)

What about this publisher?
http://scitechz.com/index.html
They’ve been spamming me with requests to join their editorial boards – are they the same as one of the other scitech publishers?
They gave this contact info in their spam:

There are books on grammar and the English language, in general, too.

Comment on Another Article about Plagiarism — That Contains Plagiarism by herr doktor bimler
Ha! The guy seems to be a one-man guide to predatory journals, stealing material from places that already seem like the bottom of the barrel and somehow finding even cheaper and nastier ones to reprint it.
ISESRT must be unique in heading their pages with the Endnote logo as if it were their own.
Compare and contrast:
http://www.ijsrp.org/research-paper-1113/ijsrp-p2311.pdf
International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, Volume 3, Issue 11, November 2013
Leachate Characterization and Surface Groundwater Pollution at Municipal Solid Waste Landfill of Gohagoda, Sri Lanka
(Nirmala Dharmarathne, Jagath Gunatilake)
http://ijsr.net/archive/v5i1/NOV153186.pdf
International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR)
Volume 5 Issue 1, January 2016
Contamination at Municipal Solid Waste Landfill of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India
(Hitendra J. Jani )
Actually there is not much “contrasting” involved, apart from the change of location.

I believe Beall wrote about [IJESRT] in 2012 stating that the articles read as if they were produced by SCIgen, but that probably would have been an improvement
IIRC, the enterprising publisher (Mr Somil Shah) had invented a fictitious history for the journal and used SciGen to fill its ret-conned back-issues.
He has since branched out with a number of other International Journals of This and Global Journals of That.

I had not heard of it before, so thank you for alerting me to it. I have analyzed it and added it to my list.
It launched with 15 broad medical journals and pretends to be based in Delaware. It matches the pattern of many other OA biomedical publisher startups. Most definitely, do not accept their editorial board invitation, and please don’t submit any papers to them. Thanks again.

Comment on Finnish Man Uses Easy Open-Access Journals to Publish Junk Climate Science by John Mashey
“OLLILA, Antero V., Dr.Tech, Adj. Ass. Professor (Emeritus) Aalto University, nine peer-reviewed research papers on the climate change (FINLAND).”
This claim was included in the recent “300 scientists” (sic) letter to Lamar Smith (R-TX), essentially urging him to waste US tax money harassing NOAA. Smith had the letter added to the Congressional Record, so Ollila’s claim of Professor title is in a permanent US record. Ollila of course is entitled to express his opinion, and claim his papers are peer-reviewed: perhaps he has no clue regarding real peer review. If he wants to be taken seriously, he can propose a talk for EGU or submit papers to credible journals.
I wouldn’t hold this against Aalto in general, but I hope they understand this is not a plus, since that affiliation is on the papers. (Yes, I support academic freedom, and I understand the issue with emeritus profs (who sometimes forget to mention that. Still, university affiliations are supposed to reflect credibility.)

Back at computer, so more detail for the above:
1) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWD22OtAMHg&feature=youtu.be&t=6863" rel="nofollow">Lamar Smith, 02/02/16</a>
‘I’d like to put in the record a letter signed by 300 independent scientists that expressed concern over NOAA’s efforts to alter historical temperature data.’
This letter was organized by <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/william-happer" rel="nofollow">WIll Happer</a> and associates at <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/co2-coalition" rel="nofollow">CO2 Coalition</a>, although thatwas only known because one guy was careless in sending requests for signers to a big mailing list, not all of whom were sympathetic.
Many signers are associated with the Heartland Insiitute or other think tanks, a large number from Texas (retired NASA-Houston engineers, typically, plus a strong contingent of petroleum industry folks.). 30% of the signers wishing to waste US tax money to damage science were from outside the US, like Ollila. It's quite a group.
One bunch (including 11 of the letter signers) fooled a publisher into allowing a journal in which the editors and friends all reviewed each others' papers, i.e., even deeper down than Jeffrey's lists. When this became clear, the <a href="http://www.pattern-recognition-in-physics.net/" rel="nofollow">publisher canceled it.</a>
2) Ollila gave the following affiliations, referring back to Jeff's list of papers (all with yahoo email addresses). He was Emeritus in 2014 paper, but not in 2015 ones.
2012:A. Ollila (IJPS)
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, School of Engineering, Aalto University, Espoo, Finland.
2013 Antero Ollila (DES)
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, School of Engineering, Aalto University, Espoo, Finland
2014 Antero Ollila (DES)
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (<b>Emer.</b>), School of Engineering, Aalto University, Espoo,
2015 Antero Ollila (JESGE)
Aalto University, Finland
2015 Antero Ollila (JESGE)
Aalto University, Finland
2015 Antero Ollila (PSIJ)
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, School of Engineering, Aalto University, Espoo
Again, I do not hold this against Aalto U.
I don't know how the rules work, as they vary by universities, even in US. At many schools, the Emeritus/affiliation can never be withdrawn..

Nigeria-based Academic Journals. The article was published in January, 2012, and this journal published five issues in that month. It published 41 issues in 2012.
Owned (if anyone cares) by Dr Nyerhovwo John Tonukari, biochemist. Who is also “nigeriarchive.com” and “African Research Laboratories”, and involved in the WASET conference scam, so a broad-spectrum grifter.

Both of those journals are (were) horrible (one is dead). Please do not submit your work to either one of these two journals.

I don’t think this is a case of journal hijacking.
Instead, I think it is just a case of some very low-quality journals.
