Invention Journals are "Open Aaccess"

Five journals, all ending with the word "Invention" in their name, are listed on the website inventionjournals.org (10/10/2018). They are "Open Aaccess To All Researchers" with "Online As Well As Print Version Both" and "Doulble Blind Peer Review." (Evidently, line editing remains a challenge to the editors.)

These journals have posted a copyright assignment form that is incoherent. It states that the author "understand[s] that the Editor-in-Chief IJESI may transfer the Copyright to a publisher at his discretion" yet asserts that "[t]he author(s) reserve(s) all proprietary rights ... ."

The spam and the web sites provide no address or telephone numbers, but India is the probable location. The registrant information on the domain ijesi.org is limited to the location of Uttar Pradesh. The registrar is Net 4 India, Ltd. The "Editorials Board Members" of the International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention, which spammed me, include "Dr. Salawu .O.W", an "Inorganic Chemist, Federal University of Agriculture Makurdi , Benue State Nigeria" with three years of "Experience."

Biocore

Biocore is on Beall's list of predatory journals, and it not hard to see why. Its web pages explain that: ⊘ "Biocore motto is to give the human era with better future. This can be achieved with our renowned editors, authors and reviewers with their exchanged views and knowledge." ⊘ "Biocore has been involved the knowledge on Science & technology to the access way of every individual." ⊘ "With the Open Access evolution, we are making the genuine and trustworthy contributions to the scientific environment without stopping the access to the readers for reading or even downloading the published papers/articles." ⊘ "[A]ll the eminent personalities can search our database." ⊘ "With the Editorial Board Members of 600, the number is increasing with the volume ... ." And if you are interested in travel (to Dubai at least), "Biocore is going to conduct Scientific Conferences in near future for grouping all the eminent personalities ...

Is Frontiers Media a Predatory Publisher?

Frontiers Media (frontiersin.org) is an open access publisher in Lausanne, Switzerland, founded by serious neuroscientists. I looked around to learn what people were saying about it after receiving a request to review a manuscript for Frontiers in Genetics . The associate editor who wrote me as well most of the large board of "chief editors" seem to be serious and published researchers, but I do not know what to make of the journal's claim to have 5,689 editors. Zooming in on the field of "ELSI in Science and Genetics" yielded a list of 131 "associate editors." Frontiers notes the number of articles these editors have written; 27 had no publications of their own (or if they did, Frontiers neglected to mention them). Naturally, Frontiers claims that all of its 59 journals covering more than 460 specialties conduct transparent and rigorous peer review. It also states that "We publish all papers that are scientifically correct ." (Emphasis in we...

Knowledge Enterprises, Inc. (KEI Journals)

Beall saw it as " a publisher to avoid ". The emails do have a personal touch (if you happen to be "Dr. Dr. Kaye DH"). The true names behind the domain are hidden, as DomainsByProxy registered the domain name. LinkedIn (7/2/18) has the following entry for Katerina Bielka, M.D., whose name is on most of the spam: anaesthesiology and intensive care, pain management, Ukraine, Medical Practice, Bogomolets National Medical University, Clinic "Boris", Kiyv city hospital #17. Update (5/3/18): Medical Research Archives' "confidential" spam now drops any mention of KEI, but the domain for its email, medicalresearcharchives.com, is registered by GoDaddy.com to KEI Journals NA, 340 S Lemon Ave #7750, Walnut California 91789 US, +1.7632441130, f@zel.li. The address, which also appears in the strange confidentiality notice, is useful to many businesses who want to make it appear that they have a physical presence in California. See How Scitech Central Fak...
