Scientific Federation is "taking the step to transform the technology" that is "now-a-days ... growing in rapid way in all aspects of medical, physics, clinical and pharma." How? Primarily through "proficient and international scientific conferences worldwide with associating the world class researchers." (For more on Scientific Federation's conference business, see https://flakyc.blogspot.com/2017/01/scientific-federation-sf-wants-you-to.html and http://flakyc.blogspot.com/2017/04/greetings-from-forensic-science.html.) Operating out of Hyderabad (judging by the domain registration), this "abode for researchers" also publishes some journals (or wants to).
UPDATE 1/4/22: Comments posted below indicate that Scientific Federation was founded in 2011 and that it is headquartered in Hyderabad with Reddy Sekhar as director of business operations. See https://www.easyleadz.com/people/reddy-sekhar-1101214. A Zoom Info page on him states that he was a manger at OMICS International from 2012-2016 and that Scientific Federation is based at 10114 Century Dr., Ellicott City, Maryland. OMICS is notorious for its fraudulent practices. According to several real estate websites, the US address belongs to a three or four-bedroom home.
Among SciFed's laundry list of journals is the SciFed Journal of Forensics. The journal "encourages genuine, non-plagiarized ... submissions [that's good to know!] such as research article, ... image article, videos & graphical presentations ... ." If you like to write papers that drag on and on, it may be the place for you, as it "aims in publishing enormous esteemed manuscripts."SciFed Journal of Forensics
The editor-in-chief is Lawrence A. Presley of Liberty University. Mr. Presley is an Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice. He also works for Juniper Publishers' Journal of Forensic Sciences and Criminal Investigation, another flaky journal. The 27-member editorial board has no US members. One member is a Nigerian graduate student who is "an editor to handful of journals." Another is a cancer researcher with no forensic science (or other) publications mentioned, but he "has peer-reviewed many journals."

"John Anthony"? The bumblefucks at Scientific Federation only know how to make up fictitious names for their nonexistent "Assistant Scientific Editors" by joining together pairs of first names. They have spammed me as Alexander Isaac, Ivan Connor, Henry Nicholas, Jean Paul, Samantha Lauren, Emilia Michelle, etc.
ReplyDeleteThe actual scammer behind SciFed is Reddy Sekhar (Event Manager). To add to his other delightful traits, he's an incompetent cockwomble, and he left a spreadsheet out on the Intertubes containing a list of the eedjits who registered for his scamferences for 2016-2017:
