I don’t know why the subject of ISSN keeps coming up. 1. ISSN assignment have NEVER been about content or quality. As long as it is serials, it can get an ISSN. 2. It is not even physically possible to...

I never used the term “fake publisher.” I have listed this publisher on my list of predatory publishers, so it’s fair to say I’ve called it predatory. It clear that the mission of this publisher is to...
