Dear Jeffrey Beall
Thank you very much for creating and frequently updating your list. In February 2010 and July 2013, I reviewed papers for the “Journal of Development and Agricultural Economics” (JDAE) and the “Greener Journal of Agricultural Sciences,” respectively. Both of the papers had many serious flaws, particularly in the methodology and the interpretation of the results, and the authors derived incorrect conclusions. In my referee reports, I clearly highlighted these flaws and suggested to reject the papers but I just found out that both of the papers were published without any (relevant) changes! Hence, I wasn’t surprised to find the publishers “Academic Journals” and “Greener Journals” on your list. Today, I was asked to review a paper for the “International Journal of Agricultural Subsidy and Rural Economics” (published by “International Scholars Journals”). A quick look at your list prevented me from wasting time on a review that would have been disregarded anyway. Thanks a lot!
Kind regards,
Arne Henningsen
