Heighten Science "envelopes all the existing and emerging developments"

Heighten Science Publication Corporation is here "to cater the insistent need of researchers." Its About Us page explains that

Heighten Science Publications Corporation (HSPC) welcomes you as a new member. The potential of Heighten Science in publishing journals is radically altering the way, scientific information is disseminated. Heighten Science intends to establish a high-quality, open access, peer reviewed Journals that can become a source of updated and the most complete and reliable source of information on current developments in the fields of clinical, medical, biology, chemistry, pharmaceutical and engineering related researches. All the journals published by Heighten Science are dynamic and envelopes all the existing and emerging developments to be abreast of the fast paced growth of the subject. Heighten Science does not only publish but also successfully disperse the knowledge to the relevant and necessary sources using the latest technology.

To supply "added value," "Heighten Science aims to provide high quality, meticulously reviewed and rapid publication, to cater the insistent need of researchers." The "Why with Us" page has such expostulations as "The scalar chain of Heighten Science comprises of prominent scholars and experts of different fields and an alert unmatched readership base." And of course HSPC does "not want to stalemate your research work in limiting it to word counts or size." Whether the alert and unmatched readers share the desire to let authors write page after page is not discussed. The publication charges for the 53 journals are hefty, but, hey, "we solely depends on the authors" and use their "contributions ... in collaboration services, promotions and citations which ultimately helps in increasing the visualization ... ."

The contact information includes this address: 2504 Stillwater CT, Flower Mound, Texas - 75022, USA +14043820291 info@heighpubs.us." The email address heighpubs@gmail.com and the telephone number belong to Sandeep Kumar. Whitepages.com lists the following names as owner or residents of the four bedroom house: Shubhada V Sharma, Sandeep K Sharma, Rekha N Sharma, Manisha V Varshney, Saumya Sehgal, Tony J Owens, and Tammie E Bonham. Sandeep Sharma also uses the home address for The Evolvers Group LP. He is the CEO of this computer services and consulting company. The domain name heighpubs.us is registered to Chandra Shekar.

The corporation is registered to the same Sandeep Sharma.  In fact, he is the mayor pro tem of the town, having moved there in 2001 after graduating from the University of Poona in computer engineering in 1989 and earning an MBA in in strategic management from the University of Kansas in 1998. The Texas Comptroller's office identifies two other directors of the publishing corporation: Chandr Gundabattula (address LOT-13 13 15 16 23 FLAT-501 SUJATA), and Iswarya Uppalapati (PLOT-1322 FLAT-102 VINDHYA HILLS AP).

I looked at Heighten's Journal of Forensic Science and Research, since that is a field I am familiar with. Most of the links brought me to articles from other journals, such as one on "Peaceful Bridging" from a dentist in Hawaii describing tooth replacement and promoting his "Carlson Bridge® 'Winged Pontic' tooth replacement system" published (with misspellings) in the December 2018 issue of Heighten's Journal of Oral Health and Craniofacial Science.

UPDATE 12/25/2020: The "Editor Policy" on the webpage explains that "Heighten Science trail a critical evaluation prior to selection of Editorial Board members." This will "assess the quality quotient of articles being published." let's hope that "quality quotient" exceeds the website's, not to mention that of Heighten's emails. Today's spam comes from the great state of "Taxes, USA."

  1. heighpubs.org has been listed on the Scientific Spam DNSBL since September 2016.

    Our heuristics are suggesting that hspcorporation.org is in fact OMICS.

    1. What is the basis for this conclusion? That is, what facts indicate hspcorporation.org is owned by OMICS?
