Clinics in Oncology
Not many bona fide medical journals call themselves "mega journals," but the website (7/2/16) reports: "Clinics in Oncology Journal is a peer reviewed open access mega journal aims to publish basic, translational and clinical original research articles from all areas of oncology, surgery, clinical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, medical oncology, oncology case reports and images." It promises "rigorous peer-review"--wait for it--"within 2–3 weeks of submission. The interval between acceptance and publication online is 8 days ... on a continuous publication model." The editor-in-chief is "Min Rex Cheung, MD, PhD," who "is a board certified radiation oncologist specializing in the treatment of a variety of adult cancers with radiation therapy. He obtained his M.D. and Ph.D. from Columbia University School of Medicine in New York City."

I'm currently receiving spam from the lowlife scammers at OAText, in the name of Rex Cheung, who purportedly edits one of their journals (the grifters keep sending their spam from different domains so as to evade spam filters). I was looking for his e-address so I could warn him that some scuzzy little fraudsters were misusing his name, but I'm beginning to suspect that he knows.
ReplyDeleteHe also contributes to and edits the equally-predatory Journal of Cancer and Clinical Research:

Ah, I see he also sits in the Editorial Boards for journals from ClinMed, Jacobs, and SM Group -- one of these guys whose involvement in a journal is a helpful indicator of its parasitical nature.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the spam from OAText boasts of his "Anderson Cancer Center" affiliation, his e-address there is no longer valid, and he is elsewhere variously listed as working from a clinic in Flushing, and a street address in Pennsylvania.
I am also receiving spam mails from Heart and stroke published by Remedy publications. The content of the mail is:
