Magnus Med Club is no Club Med

Magnus Med Club is the unlikely name of a publisher of seven journals (soon to be eight) with names like "Dental," "Medical Research," and "Surgeries." Neither the journal that spammed me (Neonatal) nor the three other Magnes Med Club ones that I spotchecked listed an editor-in-chief. 

The one US member of the editorial board of Neonatal is "Mirela Olympia Fagarasan Palmer, Professor, University of South California, USA." Her name is on the editorial boards of journals and conference programs from various publishers and conference organizers of ill repute (Omics International, Medwin, Iris, etc.). The name "Palmer" preceded by any of the other three names does not appear on the USC medical school's faculty index or in the USC directory.

The website speaks of helping "researchers to make new discoveries in the various fields of research." These lead "to the development of the scientific community." The journals are constantly" updated to keep the knowledge flowing." Who could ask for more?

The Ohio Secretary of State's office shows a for-profit corporation named Magnus Med Club was last registered in October 2019, by Zubair Muhammad. Zoominfo reports three employees and revenue of $193,000. The Club's address of 8408 Gradington Drive, Westerville OH 43081, USA, appears to be that of a residence rented by Syed Fazal.

  1. University of South California

    There is no such institution. Perhaps they mean "University of Southern California". Even better, they may have Alireza Heidari's completely fictitious "California South University" in mind.
