Comment on Look out for Bogus Impact Factor Companies by Vesna Miletic
Dear Mr. Beall, thank you for the great effort you put in identifying bogus journals and editors. I think all sincere scientists are very cautious in which journals they publish. We all build our reputation very hard over the years to let ourselves ruin all that by publishing in bogus journals.
I also wanted to ask about Medjaden. I was approached by them 2 years ago to act as senior editor/academic advisor. The idea was to pre-edit and advise on data and manuscripts before they are submitted by the authors. Medjadjen is not a publisher. I agreed at the time but they never sent me any manuscripts to edit. Now I am invited to continue this appointment and am currently considering it. I have not noticed anything wrong with Medjaden, simply because I have not had any experience as an editor/advisor.
Kind regards
Vesna Miletic

I generally limit my work to open-access journals and publishers. It appears this journal is not open-access. I have not analyzed it.

Comment on Appeals by Ralph Stevens
What are your views on the International Journal of Computer Science and Information Security (IJCSIS)? It seems pretty solid as it is associated with Thomson Reuters and DOAJ although their website is not impressive. I also checked out their reviewers most of them seem genuine. I am thinking of publishing a paper. Could you shed some light on this? Thanks.
Comment on Appeals by Jeffrey Beall
I think this is a very low quality journal, and I strongly recommend you avoid it. It is not a solid journal, and don’t believe anything it says on its website about where it’s indexed. This journal is included on my list, and it serves as a means for the publisher to make easy money from scholarly authors.
Comment on Appeals by Jeffrey Beall
If all you care about is Scopus indexing, then don’t let me stop you. Go ahead and submit your work to the journal. Merry Christmas too.
Comment on Philippines Journal Charges Two Excessive Fees, Exaggerates IF by Jimmy Masagca
My God! I published an article in this journal ALS in the year 2000. If I am not mistaken I paid 5000 pesos processing and addition of 8000 was given before printing. Since I want to be promoted as full professor l filed a loan in the university cooperative just to pay the amount to dr gruezo. This was the time when the journal is a non ISI listed.

Sir what about the “Inderscience Publishers”
Comment on Appeals by Jeffrey Beall
This is a subscription publisher (not an open-access publisher). I generally limit my work to OA publishers and journals.

Comment on Predatory Publisher Organizes Conference Using Same Name as Legitimate Conference by Dr. LAILA J. BADRAN
Good Morning Mr. Jeffrey Beall
Could you please inform me about the World Academy of Science,Engineering and Technology WASET conference that is going to be held in Prague 23-24 //2017 is it a true or Fake??
and if the Registration fees were paid can one have a refund to stop the whole issue?
Comment on Predatory Publisher Organizes Conference Using Same Name as Legitimate Conference by Jeffrey Beall
Yes, this is a very low-quality conference organizer. Many consider it fake. I don’t know if they will give you a refund or not. With these predatory businesses, often if they get your money, they never return it.
