Maybe they should write a paper about their successful cloning experiment and submit it to a proper journal? *rimshot*

I’ve been monitoring this journal, so thanks for the reminder. Since I last had a look at it, they’ve added a “fast track” review. This is often an indication of a fake peer review process and a revelation of the journal’s real motive, to earn fast and easy money from researchers. I’ve now added this journal to my list and recommend that researchers not submit any papers to it.

Dear Jeffrey,

can I have your opinion about the journal “Journal of Alternative, Complementary & Integrative Medicine” published by Herald Scholarly Open Access? I was asked to review and I’m not sure whether I should take the task.

Your help is deeply appreciated!

Thank you.

Comment on OMICS Group Now Charging for Article Withdrawals by Jeffrey Beall

OMICS International is horrible. They quickly accept submitted manuscripts and then send an invoice to the authors. If the author request withdrawal, they have a fee for that also. Sometimes authors do not pay, and I know of no cases where OMICS started legal action against the authors. OMICS is based in Hyderabad, India and to my knowledge, they have not initiated legal action outside of India.

Actually, Behaviorists for Social Responsibility is an organization, and their organ is called <em>Behavior and Social Issues</em>. This journal is not a predatory journal; in fact, it is a respected journal.

I recommend that researchers not associate with Herald Open Access, either as authors, editorial board members, or as ad hoc peer reviewers.

As is the case with most for-profit, open-access journals, they often accept and publish papers despite receiving reject recommendations from the peer reviewers. So if you invest the time to read and review the submission, your time may be wasted, and the paper published as is despite your recommending rejection or revision.

Thank you for your work Jeffrey, it really is invaluable. Saved my bacon. Pretty much any ‘conversation’ now, where papers are being cited involves having to reference your pages, in medicine anyway. I will make sure I acknowledge that.

Daer Dr. Beall,

I offer my deepest thanks. I will ignore their demand from now on.
I’m considering expanding “Beall’s List”.
Unfortunately, I have another issue. I have become the editorial board member after the invitation from OMICS. I requested the resign. However, they do not accept my demand at present.

Best regards,

Kiyoshi Kikuchi

What did you do after that? I faced a similar situation.

The old domain may not be under the control of the publisher: clicking “Editorial Board” on http://www.ijnngt.org thrice gave (1.) ad for online gambling (2.) ad for adult entertainment (3.) the page one is supposed to see.
whois ijnngt.org gives some “privacy protection.” contact.

Well, since the editorial page still loads and the ad appears in a separate window (at least on my browser), I am secretly suspect that it may be a way to increase revenue via ads, as opposed to a site takeover?

Also, I find it a tad curious that ijnngt would both register their site via a privacy protection company and use a robots.txt code to block archival sites from creating caches of their pages. Nngt, their self-proclaimed publisher, is very open with their registry information. It is also interesting that the ijnngt site was created about seven months before nngt, since I would have assumed it more logical for the publishing company’s site to have been given precedence.

The ijnngt Editor-in-chief and nngt CEO, Nejmeddine Tagoug, is the General Chair in charge of all the conferences and a faculty member of King Saud University, UAE. All of the other associate editorial board members are also affiliated with institutions located in the UAE. I am quite uncertain as to the identity of the other conference organisers routinely listed with Tagoug. They have these LinkedIn pages where their only work entry pertains to their employment with NNGT as network service workers and conference managers. Additionally, While some of the conferences, mainly the previous ones, have been held in Tunisia, a sizeable majority, including those scheduled for this year, are in the UAE. The only updated conference list is posted on the NNGT site.

According to the WHOIS information available for nngt.org, the site is registered to Najm Eddie Tagoug, a slight variation/spacing of the EIC’s name. What is his role in the creation of the ijnngt website, along with its journals? He does have a few observable links to Tunisia, as he worked some years ago as a project manager at a Tunisian Bank and was involved with a Tunisian applied social sciences forum back in 2011. However, his CV notes that, from 1998-present, he has been an assistant prof at three different UAE schools, spending around 6 years in each. I would venture a guess that he is in some way responsible for the journals/sites.

Dear Dr. Bill thank you for your contribution to the academia. It is great effort.
One query: Is African journal of Agricultural science under your predatory list?

jeff:I just received an invitation to serve as editor-in-chief in a journal published by Science Publishing Group – with an office address in New York city Fashion Avenue. Is this a subsidiary company of other predatory publishers? http://www.sciencepublishinggroup.com/journal/journallist They have an amazing list of journals some of which do not have editorial board at all. This is becoming a nightmare.
