Comment on Open-Access Publisher Launches with 355 New Journals by Robin Hood

Naser, I am not sure if we should be applauding you, or criticising you. You have just given a brilliant idea to to-be fraudsters who are willing to try anything now. That is why I have always advocated the inclusion of Adobe security on PDF files to avoid the abuse, manipulation and loss of information from the PDF itself. Do you know why so many publishers do not include security on their PDFs? Because Google, Yahoo and other spiders, trawlers and bots cannot read key words and thus those papers don’t appear high up on Google or Yahoo searches. I am sorry, but thumbs down for your ideas, because you use the term “I am sure”, suggesting that you might be doing just what you are advocating against. Proof of the predatory nature (or hill-billy ignorance and sloppiness) is entry No. 315 (multiple journals within one journal)?
