I hadn’t heard of this publisher before. I’ve now added it to the list. It’s an amateurish publisher, one not worthy of receiving submissions from honest and serious researchers. Thanks for alerting me to it.

I think most of the negative comments are written by Viroj Wiwanitkit himself as he is utterly exposed here. Great job Prof. Jeffrey Beall

Dear Jeffrey Beall

I received a SPAM e-mail from a recently established OA Publisher: Isaac Scientific Publishing (http://www.isaacpub.org/). Although I have seen worse OA publishers, I think that this publisher may qualify for your list, e.g. because there is definitely no need for additional journals in the fields that the journals of this publisher cover.

Best regards,
Arne

I wouldn’t call it fake exactly, but with large, for-profit, and expensive conference organizers like this one, it’s probably better to avoid them and find a conference organized by a non-profit, scholarly society in your particular field of study.

Thanks for alerting me to this bland publisher. I have added it to my list, and I agree with your assessment. If possible, can you forward me the spam email? Thanks again.

I think his letter says it all. Ilooked at the journal website and it is littered with grammatical mistakes.

Impressive work again, herr doktor.

And in 2017: http://www.vitafoods.eu.com/speakers/dr-bejit

“Dr. Bejit Ideas
Specialist Nutrition and Bio-Technology President, Chairman, Japanese Society of Anti-Ageing Nutrition, Ninapharm Innovation Labs – Japan
Chairman of Ninapharm Innovation Labs – Tokyo, where he focus’ on anti-ageing research.
Tissue ageing, stress Oxidative and specific tests: abseiling and practical syntheses. Interested in preventive research for an innovative nutritional supplement (Citrullus Lanatus extract) favoring the regulation of anti-radicalaire at the mitochondrial level. Y.Rougier, V. Pouyssegur, B. Edeas, M. Nasu, P. Seite – Interviewed by Bichat – 2006

From 50 years of weight dieting to the emergence of health dieting. The answers to a promising multidisciplinary synergy : Index SLIM data, chrononutrition et Neuronutrition.

Interviewed by Bichat – 2007”

But there is no Japanese Society of Anti-Ageing Nutrition, there is a Japanese Society of Anti-Aging Medicine that looks legit: http://www.anti-aging.gr.jp/english/index.phtml

Do they really think people will not google things and look for more information on their activities? really?

And in a video about Kronuit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATu0U7O2GwY

Is it Marvin or Bejit?

Bejit is here, seems younger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcU9zCXopUE

The content i really crap stuff, but it is worth analyzing who is who since, for me, they are pretty much the same person.

Also, at Hopital Bichat, they manage to organize a seminar to discuss all these pharma stuff herr doktor mentioned, this time together with FORTE PHARMA, another jackpot pharma company.

http://www.lesentretiensdebichat.com/medecine-generale/programme

Symposium – Vieillissement cellulaire et inflammation tissulaire : la voie prometteuse de l’épigénétique-nutritionnelle. La réponse PINOX™ (issue de la recherche Ninapharm/Forté Pharma) : étude d’efficacité in vitro et, vs placebo, en situation métabolique extrême. Prévenir les terrains-dégénératifs chroniques : 10 conseils pratiques.

Membre fondateur de la WHealth-Found et de l’IN2A (Institut de Neurosciences et Neuro-nutrition Appliquées). Directeur Scientifique des Laboratoires FORTE PHARMA (Monaco)

Mme V. POUYSSEGUR, Gériatrie Odontologique – Biophysiologie du vieillissement cellulaire et tissulaire, Epigénétique-gériatrique. Maître de conférence des Universités (Nice/Sophia-Antipolis)

But, “Dr B. EDEAS , Docteur en Nutrition, Pasteur Institute and Research Ninapharm (Tokyo – Japon) ”

Doctor? How come? No papers, no record, nothing. Bejit Edeas is a virtual creation that has no scientific record.

All these Edeas’ things just look as silly as hell.

Doctor? How come? No papers, no record, nothing. Bejit Edeas is a virtual creation that has no scientific record.

he has a capsule biography at sankiglobalnetwork.wordpress.com:

Dr. Bejit Edeas
– PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Nancy, France
– Masters Degree in biotechnology
– Nominated for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2003
– Scientific Director of Sanki Mayor
– President of Ninapharm, a Leader in Nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals in Europe and Japan based on Advanced Biotechnology and Nanotechnology
– Director of the Japanese Society of Antioxidants
– Affair Manager of the Pasteur Institute of Japan
– Member of International Society of Antioxidants in Nutrition and Health (ISANH) since 1998

Needless to say, no other mention of the Pasteur Institute of Japan exists on the Interweb. Another cottage within the Potemkin Village.

In addition,

These human clinical trials are internationally recognized by the Pasteur Institute of Scientific Research and are published in the Pharmacist’s Reference Encyclopedia of Medications. They are the only Natural Health Supplements to be listed in these medical reference books with published Clinical trials. The current Sanki Global products have also been KOSHER certified, reinforcing the high quality standards.

Dr. Bejit Edeas, Scientific Director of Sanki-Mayor, was nominated for the 2003 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Dr. Marvin Edeas, one of our key scientists, was also nominated for a Nobel Prize in Medicine for his work on Targeting the Mitochondria. He has hosted 4 World Conferences on the topic in Europe.

If you can find any evidence for the existence of a “Pasteur Institute of Scientific Research” or a “Pharmacist’s Reference Encyclopedia of Medications”, you are doing better than me.

In fairness, SankiGlobal follows a multilevel-marketing business plan where the responsibility of bullsh1tting about the products to suckers lies with lower echelons within the pyramid (“Independent Wellness Advisers”), but they need a playbook, so this “sankiglobalnetwork” blog is a compendium of material for them to recycle. Strict adherence to facts is not expected.

1) American Geophysical Union meetings usually have ~15,000 posters, and the bar is deliberately set very low. 2) Good list. When the dust settles, might consider giving each of the attributes a short code (like A1, A2, ...) or unique number, which allows terse enumerations. For example, <a href="http://www.skepticalscience.com/fixednum.php" rel="nofollow">Skeptical Science Fixed lisst</a> lists many bad arguments, which allows one in text to simply write SkS#2, #3, etc.

I have this “Institute” on my list (as a publisher). I would recommend that you find a stronger and more authentic organization than this one.

What fun….today I received a reply from “Kateryna”….see below…

Thank you for your email. I I apologize for the delayed response, I’ve been traveling.
I look forward to working with you. If you could have a draft ready by August 10th we should be able to have it peer-reviewed in time for our next issue, do you think this might be feasible? If not we can certainly extend the deadline a little.
Here is a link to our author guidelines so you have more information about the journal and process of submitting a manuscript. http://journals.ke-i.org/index.php/mra/pages/view/author-guideline
Please let me know what questions you have for me. If you are ready to move forward you may fill out the attached form so we have some basic information about the article and can begin selecting peer-reviewers.

Sincerely,
Dr. Kateryna Bielka, M.D.
Medical Research Archives

================

And it even included a Word-file with a submission agreement, asking for $ 100 submission fee and a $ 2999 fee if the work would be accepted….naughty little fonies….

I think I should reply to them….just for fun….

================

Dear Kateryna,

Thanks for your reply. I got a bit confused when I read the attached Word-file. At the conference you told me that authors would receive and not pay a submission fee. I understand that fees may apply when getting accepted, but if I have to pay for the submission process, it’s becoming a bit too much of a financial burden for our department. Are you sure the document is correct?

Whether we can submit it in time, depends on how when Magdalena returns. Did she tell you when she will be back from vacation? If anyone knows, I’m sure it’s you.

Thanks again!
