Scholarly Pages (previously The Scientific Pages?): "You can submit as you write"

All indicators are negative. The website text includes the following delicts: ⊘ "Scholarly Pages provide track for a variety of international scientific journals to access the latest updates in the interrelated fields” ⊘ “Each journal has the ... experts' team providing support and guidance ... to improvise the submitted papers ... .” ⊘ “Peer Reviewer carried out by the scholarly peers play a crucial role in ensuring the scientific integrity of the scholarly record entailed with us.” ⊘ “The individuality status and exertion habits of the lead editor play major roles in setting the editorial pitch.” The Annals of Atoms and Molecules solicits papers on such topics as Bohr Model, Chemical Bonding Explained, and Formation. The entire journal consists of a five-page article from Hungary (László Nemes (2017) Carbon Vapor and Carbon Plasma Infrared Emission. Ann Atoms Molecules 1(1):1-5). The publisher's alleged address is 1805 N Carson St, Carson City. Nevada. Zillo identifies ...

Scholarena feels pleasure to publish names of toes

Scholarena promises to “enlighten your knowledge” with such journals as JMSA ( Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Analysis ), which “publishes significant and important research from all area [sic] of mathematical and statistical science fields such as pure and applied mathematics ... .” It might not seem surprising that a mathematics journal would publish papers on pure mathematics, but the logos on the journal’s website show a nice microscope, test tubes and skeletal structural formulas for a few organic molecules. Maybe that is the publisher’s idea of mathematics, for the website states that this mathematics journal “aims . . for sharing new empirical findings and novel ideas in the emerging field of clinical, health and medical professions education.” The articles in press, the current issue, and the archive can be described by the null set {}. For all the graphics, the journal is empty. It has an editorial board of one person. Or does it? The editor is said to be “Mais Nijim,...

SOAOJ Publishing, where "outstand care is taken"

SOAOJ Publishing advertises "Medical Science Open Access Open Journals" and "Engineering Open Access Open Journals" with titles as "Accident Anaesthetic and Critical care Open Access Open Journal (AACCOAOJ)" and "Mathematics and Humanities Engineering Open Access Open Journal (MHEOAOJ)." I guess that is better than publishing open access closed journals.

Pegasi Media Group's Parasitic Spam

This posting is not directed at a publisher -- flaky, predatory, or otherwise. Its subject is Pegasi Media Group. The group seems to sell specialized email lists to spammers. Like a parasite, it advertise these lists through thinly disguised comments in blogs. (The ones I purged from this blog are at the end of this posting.) The firm's prose is reminiscent of some flaky journals. The webpage on "Our Obligations" includes the following promise about "Integrity and Clarity": Transparent in our business, transactions and honest in our research studies. As clarity is one of the major issues that prick the minds of both website owners and customers, we assure you that we are transparent and honest with our work. We do not keep our customers or clients in the dark but make them aware of every progress. For all this talk of transparency, the individuals behind Pegasi and the location of the firm are hidden by domainsbyproxy.com. But Pegasi is correct about one thing: ...
