Hi:

Here is link to a journal/conference call for papers from an email I received.

http://amhighed.com/ (American Institute of Higher Education)

It publishes the “American Journal of Business Research” and the “American Journal of Educational Studies” as well as holding “conferences and conventions.”

I find it interesting that the web site seems to indicate that the two journals they publish have the same editor, although their instructions to authors refers to “editors.” From what I can tell the whole operation is run by one person. I could not find a list of reviewers or an editorial board, either on the web site or in the actual pages of the journals. The web site claims a double blind review (interestingly the word “peer” is missing), but it appears a single editor makes all the decisions about acceptance. For the conference they hold there is a link to an “Executive Committee” which contains only a single name, the same name as the editor of both journals (and the link to their: “2013 American Institute of Higher Education – 1st International E-Conference: October 25-27, 2013″ is completely broken). The journal also demands that the copyright of any published article be transferred to it.

I hope you are able to keep up your effort, predatory publishers seem to be growing even faster than shady for profit “universities,” which is saying something. I hope we are able to get rid of both before Gresham’s Law takes over.
