Comment on Beall’s List of Predatory Publishers 2013 by SCOTT
Are the impact factors of IISTE’s journals fake?

Comment on Beall’s List of Predatory Publishers 2013 by Jeffrey Beall
They use the "IC impact factor value." IC means <em>Index Copernicus</em>, a Polish firm that assigns metrics to some journals. I think the values they assign are meaningless.

Comment on Look out for Bogus Impact Factor Companies by editorsocrates
Thank you every one and especially the admin of this blog for the valuable informations. I am an editor of a journal ” SOCRATES” . The On-line version of the journal (ISSN 2347-6869) is published quarterly. It is Open Access. The Print Version of the journal (ISSN 2347-2146) is Published Bi-Annually. The journal is indexed in DRJI Google scholars Academia , Social science research network, Thomas Reuters, and many more indexes. The ORCID i.d. of the journal is http://orcid.org/0000-0001-5456-1469 .
The link to the homepage of the journal is : http://www.socratesjournal.com/
Kindly advice me, how to know the impact factor / global impact factor of my journal ? Is there any genuine way to know ?

No, not as far as I know.

Comment on Look out for Bogus Impact Factor Companies by Jeffrey Beall
For the impact factor, the first step is to look at the Thomson Reuters master list, <a href="http://ip-science.thomsonreuters.com/mjl/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>. This will tell you whether a journal is included in any of this company's databases. I did not see <em>Socrates </em>listed there.
The "Global Impact Factor" is a bogus metric, in my opinion, and should be used by publishers.

I really appreciate your answer. We have indexed or are in process to get the journal indexed at some of the best citation centres.
As per your suggestion “Global Impact factor ” is simply bogus and I should not go for it ?

Yes, I believe having a “Global Impact Factor” will hurt you more than help you. It’s a bogus metric, in my opinion.

Jeff,
Your work is extremely valuable to faculty, tenure committees, and administrators. When a journal or publisher appears on your lists, that helps validate our determination that they are not truly peer reviewed. Administrators in particular seem to appreciate the CYA benefits of third-party confirmation. I just wish you had the budget and staff needed to handle the wave of new offenders popping up.
Here are some business-oriented publishers that aren’t yet on your list, but are clearly worth investigating. They put out too many journal titles to list here:
Academy of Business Research (ABR)
International Academy of Business and Public Administration Disciplines (IABPAD)
International Academy for Advancement of Business Research (IAABR)
Thanks, and keep up the great work.

Comment on A Magical Combination: Easy Acceptance and an Authentic Impact Factor by John
Somewhat I felt strange that this blog article lack of credibility. I think that we should not look just only from publication frequencies, copy editing and the size of editorial boards.
It is ok for the publishers to make money. All publishers do it. That is why now Universities have to pay a lots for subscription fees. We only need to care whether proper PEER REVIEW PROCESS are in place.
I would say this journal is just simply a low tier journal. It publish low quality research articles. However, we don’t need to condemn it.

Comment on WSEAS and NAUN: Two Publishers (and Conference Organizers) to Avoid by Joro Paveto
The conferences are realy of a very low quality and they publish everything as it is submitted in their conference proceedings. The owner is a greek that is currently a professor in the technical university of Sofia, Bulgaria (therefore the conference tax for bulgarians, greeks, romanians sometimes is much lower). The conferences are bad, but for us it is sometimes a chance to meet colegues.
As for the journals- they do not require aditional fee to publish the extended paper in their journal. They do not require a processing charges even if You submit a paper to some of their journals without any participation at one of the conferences. And yes the journals are weak, but indexed by Scopus:
http://www.scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php?q=World%20Scientific%20and%20Engineering%20Academy%20and%20Society&tip=pub
and some of their journals (a significant part) are with impact factor as well. As you can imagine during promotion procedures these are classified as a totaly legitimate publications in impact factor journal …
I cannot recommend to anyone to publish there, but I can understand the people that are doing it. After all if both Scopus and WOK think that these are legitimate journals I am afraid, that no one will hear the recommedations …
And the conferences of WSEAS are predatory, however the journals do not require payments and there is a real peer review process (as You can imagine not so strict but still real).

i’d like to know how long a journal called ANGLISTICUM has been on you list. It does look totally dodgy, but is it really THAT bad?

Joro Paveto sums them up very well. WSEAS started out as a fairly dodgy and widely spamming company over 10 years ago and has been slowly edging towards respectability since.
