Comment on Combining Fake Journals with Fake Conferences: Global Business & International Management Conference by Alex H

Interesting (and effective) method. I completely understand the busines logic of filling up newly started journals with conference papers; as it provides the much-neded visibility and content for the journal’s first issues and also lure researchers to submit a well-written paper to the conference. There is another publisher, started recently in Slovakia, Central Europe which operates in a similar way. Thomson s.r.o., the commercial publishing company behind Sci-Pub Scientific Publishing service http://www.sci-pub.com is backing up its 7 new journals with a virtual “conference” (The 1 st Global Virtual Conference 2013, http://www.gv-conference.com/ ), providing the opportunity for researchers to not give a presentation at all and still get a line in their CVs for the conference participation and another for a journal article (which is, actually, their accepted conference paper).
