Comment on List of Predatory Publishers 2014 by Jeffrey Beall

Well, for one, it’s based in Australia (or claims to be), but it appears almost no Australians want to publish in its journals — the authors are all from abroad. Also, it has broad, unoriginal journals with titles like “Journal of Studies in Social Sciences.” The world does not need another questionable publisher with hackneyed journals. I think researchers should find better venues for their work than this one. From searching your email, I see your name is Oziengbe Scott Aigheyisi and you are in Nigeria. Did you start up this publisher? And it’s really based in Nigeria, no? Why aren’t you honest about this?
