The About MRJMSS page explains that
Merit Research Journals of Medicine and Medical Sciences ... was sprung into actions for two reasons: To publish excellent and unprecedented researches that are in line with the interest of our journals. Secondly, to create avenue for exploration, ravaging and manifestation of the world of knowledge, and to disseminate the articles freely for teaching and reference purposes, especially for researchers and teachers in developing nations.
It is the policy ... not to request for grants for its operations ... . Rather we have chosen the model of self sustenance through collecting processing fee for articles published. ... [W]e resulted to collecting the processing fee once an article has been reviewed and accepted for publication by an editor.
It is hard to know who is behind the Merit Research Journals. The domain meritresearchjournals.org was registered by NHS Hosting, 18 Okpe Road, Sapele, Nigeria, +234.7062362242, admin@netpagesonline.com.
It is not so hard to assess the merit in articles in the Merit Research Journal of Medicine and Medical Sciences such as the one on "Efficiency evaluation of corneal collagen crosslinking intervention in patients with keratoconus" that has no control or comparison group to evaluate anything. As of 4/29/16, the website promised "reputable academics and experts as members of its Editorial Board," but I saw no names listed there. The "about MRJMSS" page is revealing:
The establishment of this Journal ... is an answer to the wishes and desires of many researchers and teachers in developing nations especially in Africa and Asia who lack free access to quality materials online. This Journal opts to bring panacea to this problem, and to encourage research development.
Emails claim that the journal "is indexed in The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) which is part of the United States National Library of Medicine (NLM), a branch of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)." A search (on 2d September 2019) of the list of journals in the NCBI database came up empty. Furthermore, inclusion in the list is no indication of quality or integrity.
