Well, I accepted because a colleague recommended me directly. Unfortunately it didn’t occur to me to look them up in your list — I read some of the previous papers, and they were nowhere near as bad as those I’ve seen in journals on your list, so I assumed they weren’t even going to be there. I’m sure about several of the names there actually being on the chair. Knowing other publishers like IEEE, the conferences and journals are quite separate. I’m hoping this is the case here too — or at least, that the publisher has improved since your previous analysis. Of course, I’ll let you know if I learn of anything fishy in their review process.
