Comment on List of Predatory Publishers 2014 by Peter Buzzacott

Today I received an invitation to submit to the Journal of Exercise, Sports & Orthopedics. I followed the link and found it is published by Symbiosis. Their vision statement boldly claims:
“Symbiosis” is a visionary Global organization devoted to empower the masses with rich scientific resources and technologically advanced products.”
Curious, I checked and Symbiosis is on your list of predators. So, I looked at their list of journals to see if I recognise any and, oh no, Neurology is listed. I couldn’t believe it, I was sure it had an impact factor of 8 when I reviewed an article for them last year. I clicked on the link and the actual journal page calls it SOJ Neurology. Different journal – that’s a relief.
For fun I looked at their “Support Us” page, which starts with:
“Academic Institutions are welcome to support Symbiosis Open Access by offering monetary support.”
I’ll bet they are – ha ha
