Comment on Another Predatory Conference Organizer from Asia: Academic Fora by Farooq Ahmed Jam
Dear ” herr doktor bimler” I am here Farooq Jam Executive Director of Global Illuminators and I have a moral courage to own my organisation and my activity of research and development. I am proud of my work and I invite you to attend our conference if you have a moral courage to come on front. Not just throwing shit on others with fake IDs in blogs can make you grow bigger until you grow yourself at moral grounds. I am not concerned with what others are doing but If you have some issue with me or my organisation I welcome you to join any of our event and discuss with me personally. My contact detail is mentioned on my website.
Comment on New Open-Access Publisher: Clyto Access by tekija
From their Linkedin blurb, lots of empty boards and nonesense:
CLYTO is a trailblazer managing its core operations from USA and India, establishing its ever-expanding presence in the scientific society by bridging the gap between the academia and research community. The organization works in association with the scientific and health communities globally to publish research reports, e-books, e-magazines pertaining to various academic disciplines like science, management, engineering and technology. CLYTO’s publications work through rigorous peer review as per scientific publishing standards to ensure world class experience among the whole ecosystem of open science tools. Our Open Access publications are included in the world renowned abstracting and indexing databases to make them easy to find and cite. We provide unrestricted free access to our readers worldwide under the terms of Creative Common license.
There are other companies in India with the same name:
http://clytotechnology.com/company.html
http://m.indiamart.com/clyto-tools/
It appears to be an ancient Greek name signifying eminent or illustrious, or perhaps the founders were friends of The City of Leeds Youth Training Orchestra…CLYTO for short.

Comment on Oncotarget’s Peer Review is Highly Questionable by Paolo Vezzoni
I found some comments unwarranted.
The real problem in scientific publishing is that most papers are rejected by the Editorial Staff without any review. The same paper can be immediately rejected or sent out for review by Journals of similar relevance (as quantified by their I.F.).
With regard to the relatively high IF of Oncotarget, it can be explained by its politics of accepting papers based on reviews from other Journals. But this procedure is shared also by other very high impact Journals. If you accept papers rejected by Nature, Science or Cell only because “they do not fit in the top 5% papers” , but without any technical bias, you will be rapidly publish many very good papers.
With regard to the price, today it can cost several thousands dollars to publish a paper in most Journals.
Finally, accepting a paper as it is, which rarely happens, might simply menas that the reviewers reached a high level of maturity, without bothering his colleagues with minimal points.

The International Association of Engineers (IAENG) looks suspicious to me.
Comment on List of Predatory Publishers 2014 by Jeffrey Beall
It’s a low-quality journal from a very low-quality publisher, and everyone should avoid it.

Dear Professor Beall,
Would you call those conferences such as the following one as predatory ones? ??
Thanks you.
Comment on Frontiers Launches OA Library Science Journal by Klaas van Dijk
Readers of this blog post might be interested to know that Jeffrey Beall announced on 18 October 2015 on Twitter that publisher Frontiers was added to his “list of potential, possible, or probable predatory scholarly open-access publishers. This is at the moment still the case (see https://scholarlyoa.com/publishers/ ). See also http://www.nature.com/news/backlash-after-frontiers-journals-added-to-list-of-questionable-publishers-1.18639

Comment on Beall’s List of Predatory Publishers 2016 by Valentina
Dear Dr Beall,
Could you please explain the reasons behind the inclusion of Frontiers in your list? Many respected researchers in my research field are involved in the editorial board of one of their journals and I myself am currently a Guest Associate Editor and did not find any irregularity in the paper acceptance process. They even have a contract with my university (Imperial College London) to cover for open access fees.
Thanks,
Valentina
