Comment on List of Predatory Publishers 2014 by Jeffrey Beall

I try not to use the terms fake or wrong to describe publishers. This one is typical of many questionable publishers. It launched with a large (over 50) fleet of broad-scope journals. Most of the journals represent disciplines already well-covered in the literature. Many questionable publishers do not charge at first, and they use the free articles to accumulate a mass of articles that then serve to attract submissions when the APCs are imposed. Researchers need to know which publishers to avoid, and I think this one offers little benefit to researchers with new research to share with other scholars. Why are you asking about this particular publisher?
