Comment on Beall’s List of Predatory Publishers 2016 by Jeffrey Beall
I recommend you avoid this conference like the plague. It is associated with the so-called “Infonomics Society,” a publisher included on my list.

IAFOR or maybe ACSEE Conference?

ACSEE Conference Inquiries
http://iafor.org/ – A friend of mine is going off to this conference but it looks very shady. There appears to be no link to guidelines for paper submission which makes me very nervous as well. Can you shed some light on this conference and its organizers? Thank you

I think many would agree with your assessment.
I recommend you find a conference from an authentic scholarly society or organization in your field of study.

Comment on List of Predatory Publishers 2014 by Jeffrey Beall
In my opinion, the quality of this journal is low.
I recommend you find a stronger, higher-quality journal for your work.

Comment on A French Publisher / Conference Organizer to Avoid by DEUS ex MACHINA
The information on plagiarism is important. Indeed it is very similar. The Journal of World Mitochondria Society is not indexed anywhere so it is somehow “hidden” on the web.
Why to plagiarize in this case? Why another paper if the journal is so honest?
Also, it may be cheap to run these journals, but TAKAYAMA is makng at least 400k euros of profit a year… Not bad at all for them in this case.

Comment on Proposed Criteria for Identifying Predatory Conferences by prosario2000
Hi Mr. Beall:
One question. I know that when you deal with predatory journals, you deal exclusively with fake open access “academic” journals. My question is if when you describe predatory conferences, will it exclusively deal with those established as predatory open access publishers (as you define them) or will the description include those that don’t necessarily publish open access fake academic journals?

Comment on Thai Researcher Has Hundreds of Publications, Except … by OffHours
Everything published as research is supposed to be read by non-researchers as well. If someone cannot withstand the writings published under his name being publicly questioned by the readers, he shouldn’t have those published in the first place. Trying to argue as “ad hominem” as possible you have only succeded in exposing how the garbage publishing system works unchecked.
I do not know anything about this Thai case, but, in general, it shouldn’t be difficult for academic faculty members in developing countries to produce a large number of low quality writings by forcing their students to compile those as a part of educational process. To earn a degree students do whatever they are told by their superiors. Apropos this forced student labour, the author of this blog some time ago harshly criticized a plagiarised article about plagiarism from India, which, among other things and to its credit, mentioned this shameful practice.

If computers could learn these rules (and it is doable), then Jeff will relax for a while.

Comment on Proposed Criteria for Identifying Predatory Conferences by Wim Crusio
Sorely needed! Well thought out criteria. Some might occasionally apply to serious meetings, but together these criteria should enable people to identify bogus (or just plain bad) conferences. Sometimes the organizers are so inept that their invitation emails give them away. Yesterday I received an invitation to be a plenary speaker at some World Congress of Genetics, proudly boasting that last year they had “over 100 participants”! Right. For the whole field of genetics…I usually reply with a gushing email, happily accepting the honorable invitation, specifying that “surely you know my standard conditions: a speaker’s fee of $1000 (payable in advance), a return plane ticket (business class), and a suite in a 5-star hotel for the duration of the meeting”. Alas, so far none have contacted me back…

I disagree; I think their peer review process is a joke. Please see <a href="https://quantpalaeo.wordpress.com/2016/03/08/the-peer-review-of-ollila-2016/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

Comment on Proposed Criteria for Identifying Predatory Conferences by David Stern
Yes, there is little or no peer review at many of the conferences I have been (geography, economics) to. I find conferences that do do peer review, to be a bit annoying.

Comment on Proposed Criteria for Identifying Predatory Conferences by Jeffrey Beall
I think they’re both questionable. The second one, to be held at a beach resort, is more like a vacation package than a scholarly conference. Try finding conferences organized by non-profit scholarly societies.

Comment on A French Publisher / Conference Organizer to Avoid by DEUS ex MACHINA
Indeed, so again, without conflicts of interest, if people started asking if there were problems with the conference organizer I think that now yes, there are a couple of problems.
These problems will directly or indirectly impact how people see these conferences. But If these conferences are truly good, it is totally legal and fine to organize them. However, If a organizer claims things and use titles and affiliations that are not valid or legit in this case the problem is serious.
That’s all.

Comment on Combining Fake Journals with Fake Conferences: Global Business & International Management Conference by Rao
Thanks for your valuable comment. I guess you are from the “editorial team” or a “conference organizer.” And your message, sentence structure and grammar provide enough validation for me to make a decision. I suppose you are also Sabrina

May I know why Institute of Research Advances is in the list of predatory journal? For how long it has been considered a predatory one?
thank you

Comment on Appeals by Jeffrey Beall
Because it’s a non-standard, deceptive, non-transparent, and low-quality publisher. No serious researchers should submit their work to its broad-scoped journals. It is not an ‘institute’ at all; it is just someone cleverly exploiting gold OA for his own profit.
It is congenitally predatory.
