[…] Altro nome da aggiungere all’elenco degli editori predoni, organizzatori di conferenze idem e Accademie virtuali. Jeffrey Beale dice che “Avestia” sembra il nome di un farmaco per le allergie, in realtà è quello di una small pharma indiana. […]

Having a DOI is not a mark of quality and does not guarantee competence or honesty on the part of the publisher.

This is a difficult question. The situation is messy. I recommend being completely transparent with the next journal you submit the paper to. Tell them what happened. That way you protect yourself.

So, “Adam Harvard” doesn’t think the GIF impact factor is bogus. Interesting.

Presently, Google has started a service called Matrix, which computes h-index for quality journals. I believe within few years, the monopoly of citation measures will be broken by other firms such as Google scholar, Scopus, ISC, GIF, etc.

Jeffrey, you did not understand what Adam Harvard says. He says one can count the number of papers published by a journal within few years and find other papers cited these papers and count all of them. In order to be more precise, we can include only journals whose names are listed in JCR and calculate IF, I think GIF does this for a journal. It is not bogus!

I did understand. But my point was that managing an impact factor reporting service requires much more than just doing the calculations. You have to deal with fraud as well. The new bogus impact factor sites don’t do this.

If we exclude the fraud, it will not be bogus. Presently WebofKnowlege does not allow us to see how many times a non listed journals have been cited by their journals listed in its database. But if we use schoolar, we may check which ones are listed on ISI. The real fraud appears when a journal indexed in ISI tries to cite its papers and manipulate citation system. This year JCR deleted 66 journals for this reason.

If an honest organization can do this, there will be no fraud.

Dear Prof.Jeffry Beal’,
I thank you very much for telling me that Am publishers have not published nonsense papers.
I must tell you that my papers on Fermat’s last theorem were reviewed three times.First, by teachers ,professors or by my teachers ,very intelligent people, secondly by the reviewers (cross checked), thirdly by myself and the people concerned with the FGS ,University of Kelaniya . By now, those papers have been read by many people.Pl. take into account that quite natural typing mistakes even can be raised against the people who have published papers, at least in CMNSEM, which has already happened. at least against me,

“Dear Researcher. I am the honorable reviewer at the Journal of Science and Engineering (indexed by DOAJ). I invite you to submit your paper at that journal ( http://www.oricpub.com ) Best regards.,

Please, submit your paper at the Journal of Science and Engineering (http://www.oricpub.com)”

I was sent the above message from a departmental engineering organization discussion. This publisher ORIC looks questionable. Your thoughts?

I see the following problems:

1. Bogus grants program (possibly designed to fool people)
2. Possible use of fake names
3. Rapid review: “Fast publication: The average time between submitting a draft to the final publication is less than 30 days” In a different place it says, “Rapid review: The average review cycle is around 15 working days.”
4. Claims its journals are indexed by services that are not A&I services.
5. Contact us information includes P.O. boxes for US and UK addresses — likely no physical presence there.
6. A fleet startup with many journals.
7. Many grammatical errors on main website pages.
8. Journals all have broad coverage / titles.
9. Very few editorial board members from the west despite claiming to be “International”
10. Licensing data not included on article PDFs.
11/ APC not prominently stated.
