Thanks for your comments, this is very helpful. Lisseth Tovar certainly has an astonishingly broad scope in her scientific interest. I am happy she also liked my paper on pulmonary sarcoidosis.
Thanks, PAL, for sharing an appropritate reply!

It is not a predatory journal. It’s a strong journal.

This will only earn bad name for the true hardworking Indian publishers. Legitimate becomes illegitimate when the bastards swarm the scene.

Comment on Questionable Subscription Publisher Acts Like a Predatory OA One by Oliver Potzel
Got a similar mail. Thanks for this helpful forum.
Dear Dr. Potzel,
My last email must have reached you at a bad time so I am following up. If you are not the right person to talk to about this please let me know or feel free to forward this email.
Sincerely,
Lisseth

Dear Dr. Potzel,
I hope this email finds you well. My colleague Milena asked if I could get in touch with you about a paper you authored titled The pressure dependence of the solid state structure of biphenyl from DFT calculations. Firstly thank you for taking the time to publish this, it was an interesting read. I am hoping to have the opportunity to discuss having a short followup or perhaps a review article published in one of the next issues of the Internal Medicine Review. I think our readers could be interested in a paper with information from any continued research or new data since this was published. It would not have to be a long article, but if you don't have time for this perhaps you could also reach out to the co-authors or one of your students to collaborate.
If you have moved on from this line of research I am certainly interested in knowing more about your current projects; perhaps there is the potential for an article that would fit our journal. If you have any questions about whether or not a certain subject fits our scope I can put you in contact with Dr. Chadwick Prodromos from our editorial board.
Could you please let me know your thoughts on this?
Sincerely,
Dr. Lisseth Tovar, M. D.

Lisseth,
Would you contact the authors of The pressure dependence of the solid state structure of biphenyl from DFT calculations about possibly preparing something for the next issue? Or possibly September? Let me know if you can't find the article and I will send it.
Thank you,
Milena

Comment on Proposed Criteria for Identifying Predatory Conferences by Jeffrey Beall
I would recommend you find a better conference than this one. It funnels papers to predatory journals, and as you indicate, it organizes conferences like a fish wholesaler. Please try to find a conference organized by a non-profit <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_society" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">scholarly society</a>.

Comment on Bogus Organization Publishes Over 300 Open-Access Journals by Bonbon
The font they use for their name in the first image is Comic Sans MS.
“Use of Comic Sans MS” should clearly be among the list of factors used to determine if a publisher is predatory.

Comment on Thai Researcher Has Hundreds of Publications, Except … by CN
Yes, “the guy with all the funding” is the new definition of prestige in science. However, it’s also not unusual for the first author to be the postdoc/student with all the actual ideas and not just execution. :)

Comment on More Fringe Science from Borderline Publisher Frontiers by Leonid Schneider
Interesting, I missed this since Frontiers blocked me on Twitter (I proud myself to be only journalist who had this honour). Will they refund the authors? It seems whenever Frontiers retract papers for being garbage or pseudo-science, they keep the money (around $2000) they were initially happy to pocket.

If anyone is keeping a list of "Frontier Papers Most in Need of Retraction", I'd like to nominate

also its later Commentary,

by Tuggiero's colleague Siniscalco (reviewer of the former paper) for having too many colons in the title.

These are the two professors who acted as reviewers:

I wonder whether Frontiers was courteous enough to inform them about the fate of the paper “hours after publication”.

Comment on OMICS International Totally Sucks by Robert
I completely agree!! Attended the Biosensors and Bioelectronics conference in Cancun a couple of years ago. I was confused because my friend said that he was going to the conference and there was another one with the same name in Las Vegas. I knew the Cancun site was correct since he told me that. However I have to wonder how many people went to Las Vegas I find that the conference was just a scam from OMICS.
I mentioned the other conference to the chief editor from this journal and he was pissed. He told me about another Author being requested publication fees from Biosensors & Bioelectronics and finding that it was from a copycat journal, I believe from OMICS group.
OMICS Sucks!! Enough said!
Now I am teaching all of my students to use your list when selecting journals for publication and when considering conferences for presentations. Thank you for the awesome job and highlighting these unscrupulous people.
