No doubt sir there are many predatory open access journal publishers are active in Hyderabad city. But its not like that the Hyderabad is the most corrupt city on the earth. The University Grants Commission (UGC) of India is now working on the issue of the predatory journals and soon all the predatory journals will be blacklisted.

I guess that you mean the open-access journal PLOS ONE. I agree with Jeffrey Beall that this journal is not a (typical) predatory journal. I would anyway not submit my work to this journal. I have reviewed for this journal. The paper that I reviewed had (and still has) major flaws and misleading conclusions but it was published with only minor revisions although I clearly pointed out these flaws in my reviewer report. It seems that the review process was quite similar to a review process for a predatory journal!

Comment on Proposed Criteria for Identifying Predatory Conferences by James McCrostie

I’ll take John Gregory at his word and assume that he is a mere conference attendee and will be attending more Curtis Wyss conferences in the future.

Mr. Gregory demonstrates something that I’ve discovered through my research. No matter what predatory event I’ve attended or investigated or what the organizers do (hide for-profit status, falsely claim peer review, steal identities for organizing identities, funnel papers to predatory journals) there are ALWAYS attendees willing to defend the conference. To them it seems if the event took place and they met at least one other serious academic then it couldn’t possibly be predatory.

Jon Cohen encountered the same phenomena when writing about predatory conferences in Science.

Dear Sir,

I’m curious to what happened to the paper that already submitted and accepted for publication in the predatory journal lists? What should we do?

In most cases, especially if you’ve transferred copyright to the publisher, the best thing to do is not worry about it too much, write a new and better paper, and submit it to a respected journal.

Comment on OA Publisher to Peer Reviewer: Never Mind by Kof

I have no financial interest in SD. Being a “shill” [stooge] for SD is not a clear motivation for publishing with SD. The open access policy is attractive. The low cost is another consideration. In the UK many e-commerce are outsourcing functions to India and other lower cost locations. Try having small talk with an operator in Delhi about the weather in Somerset? In the long-term folks got used it and began (i suppose) to appreciate the 24/7 politeness and patience at the other end of the line. The can-do attitude. The good follow-up. Outsourcing to India that is. The Manufacturing industry did it. Financial services/Banking did it. Globalisation is not irrelevant to these discussions. I consult the predatory lists of journals for every paper. The evidence seems really convincing. So why aren’t the authorities doing something about what is surely illegality?

I publish with SD and will continue to do, at the risk of loosing my publications (whatever that means). My experience of their peer review has been mixed but there reviewers did not appear to be from a typing pool of SD employee or fake academics (as claimed in some blog or other). The quality of reviewing was sometimes dubious, rude and irrelevant -but then again many comments were highly useful and adopted. Authors have a right of reply to reviewers. The quality of reviewing is a function of reviewers, not only the fault of the publishing company. To deal with my voluntary reviewing workload of about 1 paper/month – it helps to keep track reviewing good practice as suggested by Provenzale

I have published with Cureus and I have to say their Editorial process is quite harsh and nitpicky. In my case I passed the peer-review process with flying colors but when time came for editorial review I had quite a few changes and additions I had to make in order to get it published. This is clearly not a paper for trash science.

Low quality. This journal is from a publisher called Enhanced Research Publications (ER Publications). I have this publisher included on my <a href="https://scholarlyoa.com/publishers/" target="_blank">list </a>and recommend that you avoid all of its journals.
