Research Inventy

Who publishes Research Inventy's International Journal of Engineering and Science (IJES), and why does the world need another obscure journal on all of science and technology? This journal p[rovides no answers to these questions. No names or addresses appear in the spam I received. An ICANN Whois search for researchinventy.com draws a blank. Logos displayed on the home page include NASA, Google Scholar, and Cornell University Library. The website lists no publisher or editor-in-chief. The eight editorial board members are "Philosophy Doctors" from Egypt (3), Iraq, Pakistan, India, Malaysia, and Poland. Prices are in "USD" and "INR," so it is likely that the the operation is in India.

There is a "copy right form" and a "cheack paper status" feature. The answer to the frequently asked question "HOW MUCH IT TAKES FOR REVIEW PROCESS?" is "The International Journal of Engineering & Science takes 5-10 days for publication of paper." That's almost as close to instant gratification as writing your own blog.
