Comment on Beall’s List of Predatory Publishers 2016 by Rahul
Prof.Bell,
Can you give me some insights on Cogent Engineering? It is a part of Taylor and Francis Publisher. But the journal doesn’t have an impact factor yet. I recently got a paper accepted by this journal but wanted to check the reliability of this journal.

Comment on Appeals by Harish
Dear sir,
You have done a commendable work. Actually, in the tsunami of papers from predator journals, real and novel work reporting papers are dyeing. Anything and everything is getting accepted in these predator journals without any peer review and it is just for money!!
There are many more so called journals which are really predatory like:
1. International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJET)
2. International Journal of Innovative Research in Computer and Communication Engineering
3. International Journal of Innovative Research in Science, Engineering and Technology
4. International Journal of Advanced Research in Electrical, Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering
5. International Journal of Renewable Energy Research-IJRER
6. International Journal of Applied Engineering Research.
7. Advanced Research in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Krishi Sanskriti Publishers
… and many more with international journal tag.
There are countless predatory journals!!!!!
Your list is still incomplete!!!!!!

Comment on Peer Review Reports from Questionable Publishers: Three Examples by M.
Dear Mr. J. Beall Explain me – I think both of those journals are fine. (The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology)
but: https://scholarlyoa.com/individual-journals/ – there is:
Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology (TOJET) – ISSN Old (1303 – 6521), New: (2146-7242)
thank you

Dear Dr. Beall,
Thanks for maintaining this useful resource. I’m plagued by emails from many of these journals. Do you have a download link to the full list? I would like to use it to mass-block all of these domains from sending emails to me.
Thanks,
David

Comment on Peer Review Reports from Questionable Publishers: Three Examples by Jeffrey Beall
My explanation: you either have some sort of stake in the journals or you have lower standards than I do. This journal is on my list, and I recommend you avoid it (and the expensive conferences associated with it). This journal is not about Ed Tech; it is about profit for the owner.

Comment on Re-Launched Swedish Journal Takes the Prize by Sash
here here, i feel that level of sociopolitical commentary out of step with the nature and intention of this site.

Hi, Adamu,
Thank you for this additional, clarifying information. This Gynecology & Obstetrics is from a publisher called OMICS International. It is a very dangerous publisher, and I strongly recommend that you not send any papers to this journal or the 700 other journals from this predatory publisher.
Best wishes,
Jeffrey
Comment on Strange, New OA Publisher: BIOHOUSE by mahesan anna university
I dont think this journal based from Ashburn, Virginia. This is purely an Indian journal. All the published papers are published by single person with different names. Most of the authors are from India and especially from same college which is located in Hyderabad. Everything is bogus in this journal.
Comment on Strange, New OA Publisher: BIOHOUSE by Greenester
The easy and open market for money!
Most editorial members are based in one institution in India, another in Saudi Arabia (Abha) and a third in Egypt!
The so-called open access publishers are mushrooming for money, the easy money, nothing else.
Poor authors! Poor funds!
Open access should disappear from publishing, including in Elsevier, Springer and all the other so-called publishers.
The money spent on open access publishing to enrich a handful of people should be used to improve libraries and create new jobs but not to making some people billionaire. Knowledge should be free for all by default not against money paid!
Comment on Strange, New OA Publisher: BIOHOUSE by Greenester
This is also a proof that using ISSN or other identifiers is not a gauge of quality or notoriety.
Anyone can get and use ISSN or DOI for his journal against some money.
Comment on Strange, New OA Publisher: BIOHOUSE by SM
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the first and third articles are plagiarized, with minor word substitutions, from other journals.
