Trade Science Inc.

See the discussion on Beall's list. Can any journal that spams for editors of between 10 and 18 journals at once, as Trade Science has done in 2013 and 2016 (and probably other years), be credible?The website (1/29/17) observes that the journals "The high-indexed has contributed significantly" to the "wide spectrum of audience."

It lists two addresses (with a single telephone number): 57 Ullswater Avenue, West End Southampton, Hampshire UK S018 3QS, and 6th Floor, Building No.6, Divyasree Orion, Raidurgam village, Serilingampally Mandal, Hyderabad-500081, Phone: 040-33432400/2421

Time Journals

Eight subject-area journals were listed as of January 2016 and January 2017, with no address for the publisher. From the website (1/29/17):

⊡ "It arises from a reaction to the severe restriction of knowledge distribution imposed by subscription publishing models ... ."
⊡ "at the forefront of building the ultimate open journals platform."
⊡ "rapid publication (monthly) of manuscripts in virtually all fields of human endeavor."
⊡ "Customer-focused passion to win"

In a banner labelled "testimonials," the website reports that "Dr. Lu Qi has become the Founding Editor in Chief of Food & Nutrition: Current Research." It identifies Dr. Qi as "Adjunct Professor, Peking University, Beijing; Associate Professor of Medicine Harvard Medical School (HMS); Boston, MA, USA." The notorious Omics International lists Dr. Qi as a member of the editorial board of its Journal of Nutrition and Food Sciences, and he was listed as a speaker for Omics' 4th International Conference and Exhibition on Nutrition, Chicago, 2015.

Time Journal of Biological Sciences and Technology

In January 2016, the Time Journal of Biological Sciences supposedly was "Monthly published," yet its archive showed only three issues every year, often consisting of a single article (with the same article sometimes appearing in more than one issue). In January 2017, the most recent issue available was for January 2016. It consists of a single article, on "Effect of cooking on the antinutrient composition of dikanut," which really appears in Vol. 1(3) pp.17 -20, October 2013.

Science Publishing Group (SciencePG)

SciencePG is one of the most brazen spamming publishers. Its website (5/13/17) advertises "200+ Journals, 10,000+ Papers, 50,000+ Registered Authors, 2,000,000+ Hits Per Month". It works "in media partnership" with the outrageous OMICS International. Here is a sampling of its journals:

American Journal of Modern Physics
⊖ No editor listed.
⊖ The four members of the editorial board of this "American Journal" hail from the Sudan, India, Russia, and the Ukraine.
⊖ Published titles include "Modification of Einstein's E= mc² to E =1/22 mc²". V/blockquote>
American Journal of Physics and Applications
⊖ No editor listed.
⊖ The thirteen-member editorial board (5/13/17) of this "American Journal" includes no Americans. (Well, there is a South American in the Department of Basic Sciences, Maritime University of the Caribbean, Catia la Mar, Venezuela.)
⊖ Published an article by Abdalla A. Jaber, of Tirana, Albania, on "Jaber's law," which "gives a new understanding of gravity and compares between stars and ball of lightning, and solves ambiguous matters in our understanding of stars, planets and moons behavior" and "explained the relation between gravity and temperature of objects, tying his theories with experimental discovery of repulsion between gravity and heat."
American Journal of Applied Mathematics
⊖ No American editorial board members or reviewers
⊖ Articles such as "Mathematical Proof of the Law of Karma."
American Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering
⊖ No editor.
⊖ The two members (5/13/17) of this "American Journal" are in Saudi Arabia and India.

(Henderson, Nevada), and Trivedi Science Research Laboratory Pvt. Ltd. (Bhopal, India). The article reports that "Overall, data suggested that Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment can be applied to alter the antimicrobial sensitivity, biochemical reactions and biotype number of E. coli."
American Journal of Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine
⊖ No editor-in-chief.
⊖ two names with U.S. affiliations on its editorial board (5/13/17): "Dr. Duo Zhang, Pulmonary Center, Boston Unviersity School of Medicine, Boston, MA," and "Setu Patolia, School of Medicine, Saint Louis University, Saint louis, Missouri." Duo Zhang is not on the tenure or tenure-track faculty of BU, but he is a postdoc there. He also is an editor of Research & Reviews: Journal of Medical and Health Sciences. Its publisher is "[c]ertified by American Montessori Council" and has "developed a unique education system that is a blend of our Ancient Vedic Educations with the practice equipment of Montessori system."
European Journal of Biophysics

The Research Institute for the Progression of Knowledge (RIPK) promises "rigorous peer review" in just 5-7 days. The website (viewed 10/22/17) sports scrolling pictures of different kinds of beakers and flasks, newly planted trees, and similar nonsense.

Only two journals are listed (mercifully). The International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Review (IJHSSR) lists an editorial board that includes the following US members:

⊗ Dr. Laurie J Wolf, Associate Professor, Program Director for William and Mary Theatre, Department of Theatre, Speech and Dance, College of William and Mary
⊗ Dr. Antonio L Rappa, Professor, Department of Middle Eastern, South Asian and African Studies, Columbia University, New York

⊗ Carol A. Savery, Assistant Lecturer, School of Communication, The University of Akron

Antonio L Rappa (the only name I tried to investigate) is not a professor at Columbia University. He is an Associate Professor at Malaysia's SIM University and an editor for an OMICS journal as well.

Scientific Research Publishing Inc. (SCIRP)

From Wikipedia (7/15/16): [I]ts journals duplicated papers which had already been published elsewhere, without notification of or permission from the original author and of the copyright holder. ... Some of the journals had listed academics on their editorial boards without their permission or even knowledge, sometimes in fields very different from their own. [O]ne of its journals ... accepted a paper written by a random text generator.

SCIRP journals have spammed me "as one of the top experts in the field" -- in fields in which I have no degrees, no publications, and no other presence.

OMICS International

Horror stories abound. See Wikipedia | Australian Broadcasting Corp. | Beall ( 1 | 2) | Individuals: ( 1 | 2 ). In August 2016, the FTC charged the OMICS Group, its tentacles (iMedPub LLC and Conference Series LLC), and Managing Director and CEO Srinubabu Gedela, with multiple deceptive acts or practices. See also Kevin Carey, Fake Academe, Looking Much Like the Real Thing, N.Y. Times, Dec. 30, 2016. [UPDATE: A federal court issued a $50 million fine and a permanent injunction.]

The website boasts "700+ leading-edge peer reviewed, Open Access Journals that operates with the help of 50,000+ Editorial Board Members and esteemed reviewers and 1000+ Scientific associations." If that is not enough, would you believe "more than 15 million readers" study these journals? It might take that many to decipher some of the articles. For example, the webpage of the Journal of Scientific and Industrial Metrology includes the "relevant topic" of electricity and magnetism, which is defined -- mind-numbingly -- as follows:

This article presents key ideas of power and attraction important to anaesthesia. Straightforward analogies are utilized to clarify current power and the activity of electronic parts in like manner utilization. The idea of electric and attractive fields is presented with samples of their handy application.

The description of the journal Lovotics is a tour de force of verbiage:

Lovotics is an open access,peer reviewed which publishes original research papers on new ideas and concepts, new discoveries and improvements, as well as novel and innovative applications. It aims to cover a broad spectrum of topics related to the latest technologies. It should be considered as multidisciplinary research field which utilizing the essential concepts from social and computer science, artificial intelligence and engineering, robotics, philosophy etc. It defines the research of relationship between human and robot and this relationship offer new possibilities for exploring the bidirectional human to robot love.
