Annex Publishers

"Radical Novelty of Research" is Annex Publishers' slogan. Its websites have been delisted for spamming. Here are some items from the About Us page:

⊛ established with a motive to spread information among the scientific community
⊛ on the way to be the world leader in the provision of Open Access
⊛ permits us to succeed in various readers
⊛ provides them access to scientific publications on-line for free of cost.
⊛ we take away all barriers that ancient publication models to match with the pace of the twenty first century and therefore the large international analysis of research work
⊛ a hub for scientists and researchers who work hand in hand to bring a much better tomorrow for the human race
⊛ All manuscripts published by us are peer reviewed by an eminent editorial board of respective journal.

The eminent editorial board of "33 Open Access journals [and] 10 upcoming Journals" perform "21 Days rapid review process [with] Publishing within 24 hours after acceptance." Evidently, the board does not require revisions. Despite the 21-day and publication-without-revision promises, a page of FAQs advises authors that

[W]e intimate acceptance/acceptance with modification/rejection to the author's concerned on the same day of the receipt of the same. In case, you have not received any intimation from the journal, within two months of the receipt of your manuscript by the journal, you may raise the query about the status of your manuscript.

Forensic Science and Criminology (FSC or JFSC)

The current (1/12/17) issue of the Journal of Forensic Science and Criminology (FSC) includes a Commentary and Review on Sacred Geometry, by Andres J Washington of "Fingerprint Geometric Analysis, Post Office Box 165, Bronx, NY." The abstract refers to a formula "designed to discover and analyze the compatibility/incompatibility of individuals and groups of individuals based on fingerprint classifications found in the Henry System of Fingerprint Classification and Filing." I could not find a formula on the page, but it must have something to do with the Great Pyramid Khufu. Mr. Washington explained that:

I have determined that the dimensions of the chart should reflect the perimeter of the base of the Great Pyramid Khufu at Giza Egypt which is 36524 pyramid inches. The chart’s dimensions can therefore be described and displayed in any type of units of measurement so long as the perimeter equals 36524 units of measurement. Why is this necessary? Because the Ancient Egyptians show in this number three units of time, 365 for 365 days in a year, 52 for 52 weeks in a year and 24 for the 24 hours in a day. This is considered to be an impossible secret because it is said that today’s calendar was not yet developed at the time of the construction of the Great Pyramid. We can also note that 36,524.22 pyramid inches can also be described as the circumference of the Great Pyramid. In essence this equals the number of days in 100 years! In addition, a Tropical Year equals 365.24220 days. The length of each side of the base of the Great Pyramid is 365.2422 Royal Egyptian Cubits.
My thought is that this reflection is appropriate because the Great Pyramid’s construction was accurate to begin with.

Mr. Washington also is an editor of the very questionable Journal of Forensic Sciences and Criminal Investigation. The only name I recognized on the eminent editorial board that allegedly reviewed this contribution to modern forensic science is "Brent E. Turvey, Forensic Scientist and Criminologist, Forensic Solutions, LLC, Alaska, United States."
