Saw a link to this in The Lancet. I’ve gotten a few emails TELLING me I was on the editorial board for such “journals.” I have not checked to see if they listed me on their websites, having not responded in any way, but I guess I should.
The corresponding piece of this that has become clear to me is a booming business is fake, for-profit international conferences, most commonly in China. The last couple of years, I have been inundated with offers to be a podium speaker. I would love to think I have a huge overseas following (the “Big in Japan” phenomenon), but I don’t think so.
