Right.

First I am very confident about myself, but I can not remove the bias that exists in this world, and you can not deny that it exists.

Second, before making statements like — ” Look at Hindawi, it is not a US/European company. However, their profit is bigger than Elsevier”, — CHECK your facts. Hindawi’s revenue was 6 million in 2011 and for Elsevier it was about 800 million in 2011. I know the source of your information and that article was written exactly to give the impression that you have. Please go and read it again.

Third – “Even Mr Beall does not put Hindawi on his list.” — if you check again, Hindawi was on Beall’s list but it was removed due to undisclosed reasons, and I would love to know why it was removed.

As your primary requirement for submitting and article is “as long as the journal is listed in Scopus or Pubmed” I would like to mention that before the journal can be listed in Scopus or Pubmed it needs to have articles published, and to get publications it needs authors and if authors like yourself will submit articles to only journal can be listed in Scopus or Pubmed, no new journal will ever get started.

Here is an interesting article i would like to share: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1866196/
