Comment on Fake “Institute” Has Fooled Many — Even Harvard by behalbiotech

First of all we must support “Something is better than nothing”. So this blog is serving good cause. Main problem in India is that universities adopted Academic Performance Index and a parameter that journal should have ISBN/ISSN number, which every fake journal in India get easily. Both are leading to increase in use of predatory journals. Students are not aware how to check quality of journals and at same time their supervisors are also either unaware of it or want to increase number of papers. Even Indian PhD students are never taught about publication process.
If dental Council has made it mandatory to publish then Dental association can have their own journal(s) to publish papers of their own student and issue them proper guidelines. Just one notification can start solving problem. A good start can lead to more ideas, improvement and good future..

Moreover, they do not care just to have a look at the text they gonna publish!!! I am not talking about reviewing,, Just to see what they publish. Isnt this a proof of a not reliable stance? What do the want? Just to make profit on the back of the researchers

I got the exact same e-mail, but for the “Global Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences”. The sender was the “Global Journal of Nanomedicine” though…

Comment on Two New Completely Fake Impact Factor Companies by Herr Doktor Bimler

A. SPARC Indexing
Registrant Name: Mukesh Arora
Registrant City: Bikaner
Registrant Phone: +91.9413112979

Did you notice that when he’s not setting up an index-factor scam, Mukesh Arora is in on the predatory-publishing game? He’s behind the International Multispeciality Journal of Health, the International Journal of Engineering Research (which is swamping my e-mail at the moment with crappy spam-mail), and the International Journal of Environmental and Agriculture Research. He has set up a website for each of them,
but they are also listed under his “AD Publication House”… the website (www.adpublications.org) is evidently corrupted or insecure in some way, and browsers prefer not to go there, so a cached or Internet Archived version is safer.

This speaks of a level of incompetence that does not fit well with Mukesh’s self-proclaimed technological abilities… his other grifts are all about Aselling training courses in information technology.

Mukesh Arora's journals do show up on the SPARC website as the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161122020204/http://www.sparcindexing.org/indexed-journals1/" rel="nofollow">only ones provided by Mukesh Arora with SPARC Impact Factors</a> (bad luck for the other customers, but what did they expect?). He was previously buying his Impact Factor from <a href="http://sindexs.org/JournalList.aspx?ID=1031" rel="nofollow">SIS, some other scammer</a>, but I guess he decided to walk that side of the street himself.

Likewise, in medicine, journals have very detailed requirements and demand that these be followed.

Moreover, hardly any journal today gives me more than two weeks to write a review. That had become almost industry standard in my subspecialty.

I just got this email as well. Lucky the quoted article was for an invertebrate paper I worked on and not one of my newer human journal articles or I might have fallen for it.

I wish there was a way I could waste their time and resources too.

I have a question: I noticed that there are publishers in your list/website, which some of their journals are in SCOPUS database. How come? How is it possible that predatory publishers have some of their journals in scopus? maybe, there are not as bad as it seems?
Thanks

Most journals do not charge anything to publish research, so personally I would not pay to have my work published unless it was a journal with a strong, rigorous track record such as PLoS ONE. But in any case, the couple of personal example that you cite do not out weigh the hundreds of examples of predatory behaviour that have been documented by Jeffrey Beall.

Whether or not “Attempt is made…” is good English depends on what words come after it.

Their journal “International Business Management” is in Scopus. How come if it is predatory publisher?
