Flaky Journal Prices

Some flaky journals are so anxious for content that they will lower their advertised fees or publish for free. That is what some authors of spoofs have discovered after submitting absurd papers.

"Neuroskeptic" at Discover Magazine prepared a "spoof manuscript about 'midi-chlorians' – the fictional entities which live inside cells and give Jedi their powers in Star Wars." It was filled with "references to the galaxy far, far away, and submitted ... to nine journals under the names of Dr Lucas McGeorge and Dr Annette Kin." The author found that

The American Journal of Medical and Biological Research (SciEP) accepted the paper, but asked for a $360 fee, which I didn’t pay. Amazingly, three other journals not only accepted but actually published the spoof. [T]he International Journal of Molecular Biology: Open Access (MedCrave), Austin Journal of Pharmacology and Therapeutics (Austin) and American Research Journal of Biosciences (ARJ). I hadn’t expected this, as all those journals charge publication fees, but I never paid them a penny. \1/

A biologist, threatening to withdraw a paper on "What Up with Birds?" and send it to Nature, negotiated a $1,600 charge down to $1,027, to $99, and then, pleading "financial crisis," to $0. The journal manager reported that he had "done session with our Higher Authorities" to obtain this one-time waiver. \2/ The abstract of the article, which appeared this month, reads as follows:

Many people wonder: what’s the deal with birds? This is a common query. Birds are pretty weird. I mean, they have feathers. WTF? Most other animals don’t have feathers. To investigate this issue, I looked at some birds. I looked at a woodpecker, a parrot, and a penguin. They were all pretty weird! In conclusion, we may never know the deal with birds, but further study is warranted.

The paper and Iris's alleged peer review are discussed in other blog postings. \3/

UPDATE 5/9/20: On ResearchGate today, Malek Alghdeir commented that "I was invited to publish a chapter in a book by IntechOpen. Then asked me to pay 1400 £! firstly, the editor of my chapter suggests a great discount, but after that, they accepted to publish my chapter free."

Iris Publishers Releases the World's First Quantification of the Deal with Birds

"Our curated content is original and rigorously peer-reviewed, so be assured of the premium quality information, checked and approved by highly acclaimed academic editors and subject matter experts." -- Iris Publishers, About Us

the Scientific Journal of Research and Reviews (SJRR) is part of Iris's "great podium." The lead research article in the April 2020 issue is Daniel Baldassarre's "What the Deal with Birds?" The abstract is refreshingly colloquial:

Abstract
Many people wonder: what’s the deal with birds? This is a common query. Birds are pretty weird. I mean, they have feathers. WTF? Most other animals don’t have feathers. To investigate this issue, I looked at some birds. I looked at a woodpecker, a parrot, and a penguin. They were all pretty weird! In conclusion, we may never know the deal with birds, but further study is warranted.

This tantalizing description hardly does justice to the heavily referenced work of scholarship that follows. Here is a sampling:

Introduction
Birds are very strange. Some people are like “whoa they’re flying around and stuff, what’s the deal with that?” This sentiment is shared by people across socioeconomic backgrounds. Figuring out what the deal is with birds is of the utmost scientific importance. It is now widely appreciated that the majority of socially monogamous passerine species are weird [1]. In species with moderately high extra-pair mating and paternal care, we need to understand what is going on with them [2]. In territorial species, what are they even doing [3] and they do all sorts of weird stuff [4] (but see [5]). ...
Material and Methods
Study species and general field methods
I looked at three different birds: a woodpecker, a parrot, and a penguin. I looked really close at them, squinting and everything, to try and figure out what was up with them. ... Detailed population monitoring and paternity assignment methods are described elsewhere [10]. Briefly, I watched them really close for quite a while [13-15]. To eliminate potential confounds, I thus conducted my experiments only on animals that I knew for sure were birds, and no other things like bugs and bats. ...
Discussion
This is the first study I am aware of to attempt to quantify the deal with birds. Unfortunately, the results were ambiguous, although Bayesian approaches may prove useful in the future. This study has implications for climate change research. When presented with weird behavior, birds exhibited a multimodal response including physical aggression and duetting, both of which were repeatable across highly variable contexts. ...

I do not know whether the "highly qualified and expert Editorial committee ... indulged in scrutinizing articles with stringent peer review process" were impressed with the acknowledgments at the end of the article:

We thank Big Bird from Sesame Street for comments on the manuscript. Several trained monkeys transcribed videos.

The author asked the editor "if they were a predatory journal and he assured [him] they weren’t. He said [the] paper was reviewed by three experts" and supplied an "Article Review Form" with the following "Specific Review Comments and Suggestions: THE MATERIAL PRESENTED IS VERY INTERESTING, THE ARTICLE ACCEPTED FOR PUBLICATION."

Does Iris Publishers Raid OMICS for Material?

Commenting on the report on Iris Publishers, Sudheer Kaku, the IT technical specialist in Aurora, Colorado, who was identified as the likely owner, wrote "Please let me know if you come across any genuine complain [sic] or an instance where we scammed or didn't deliver on what we promised."

Iris promises that it "only accept[s] original content" and that "[a]ny work that has less than 75% originality will be rejected." It promises authors "rigorous peer reviews and quality check." It claims that it checks for previous publication as a part of the process. It promises editing to improve an author's submissions. How often does it deliver on these promises?

Clearly, it did none of these things in the case of two articles by Mohamed Daris of the "University Rabat Morocco," the "Department of Physics, Morocco," the "Department of Physics, University of Science," or the "Department of Mathematical Physics, University Rabbat Morocco." (These are the affiliations provided on his various papers that appear in flaky journals. I have not seen a university with any of these names listed on the web, but there is a University Mohammed V de Rabat.)

Realization of the Relationship between Quantum Mechanics and Relativity

This paper first appeared in the flaky and oddly named OMICS Journal of Physical Mathematics (Received Date: Aug 24, 2018 / Accepted Date: Sep 12, 2018 / Published Date: Sep 20, 2018 ). It begins as follows:

In this section we will have the design of a central energy model based on the energy of the light E this model has three forms of energy: the energy of the mass Em which is based deep on the mass m in relation with the wave function Ψ and the density density energy Eρ which is based on the density density ρ in relation to the wave function Ψ and the volume energy EV which is based on the volume V in relation with the wave function Ψ. This approximation gives us access to the last very important paragraph in this research is the relationship between quantum mechanics and relativity.

The "density density" article provides nothing less than "an exact correction of the classical light equation E = mc²." It concludes with an equation that "is a proper state of the presence of relativity and quantum mechanics at the same time in any system on the universe or far from the universe." Could one ask for anything more?

Mr. Kaku’s Annals of Biostatistics & Biometric Applications duplicated this gobbledy-gook (which has nothing to do with biostatistics), presenting it as new, quality publication. Mohamed Daris. Realization of the Relationship between Quantum Mechanics and Relativity. AnnalBiostat & Biomed Appli. 2(2): 2019. ABBA.MS.ID.000535. DOI: 10.33552/ABBA.2019.02.000535. (Received Date: April 17, 2019 Published Date: May 08, 2019).

Establishing the Equation of the Wave Function and the System Model (ρ, m, v)

This paper also appeared earlier in the OMICS Journal of Physical Mathematics (“Received Date: Aug 24, 2018 / Accepted Date: Sep 14, 2018 / Published Date: Sep 21, 2018"). The introduction reads as follows:

The main purpose of this topic is to better understand new aspects of matter and energetic systems and to give new theorems and relations based on having an idea about the behaviour of matter either on the mass side of the volume or the volume density this gives us newly exploit relationships but on the basis of the corrective theorem of the equation of light and that will guide us to have an explanatory model of the material and hence the systems outside the vacuum or inside the void.

That is a mouthful. The body of the article consists of a couple of postulated equations (with no indication of why they are meaningful or plausible) and a miscellany of algebraic consequences. It concludes with the apocalyptic remark that:

These last results show that any material with a mass and a volume and a density tends towards a moment TF [“Time of the Universe”]. That is to say that matter when it arrives at the moment TF its basic elements, which constitute them, mean that the volume and density disappear and the matter no longer exists.

Again, Annals of Biostatistics & Biometric Applications, which has no named editor-in-chief,  republished this ouevre falling well outside of its professed scope as if it were a new (and meaningful) publication. Mohamed Daris. Establishing the Equation of the Wave Function and the System Model (ρ, m, v). AnnalBiostat & Biomed Appli. 2(1): 2019. ABBA.MS.ID.000529. DOI: 10.33552/ABBA.2019.02.000529 (Received Date: April 17,2019 Published Date: April 26, 2019).

Such publications in OMICS and then Iris journals are difficult to reconcile with sincere assertions of "rigorous peer reviews."

Biomedical Conferences Claims the Journals of Other (?) Publishers

One would imagine that Biomedical Conferences is just a conference organizer. But its website features "our journals" as "a singular repository" for "acclaimed scientific authors" seeking to reach "like-minded peers." There are more journals than I care to count on the list of "our journals." Some have ISSNs; some don't. Almost all (based on a sample of clicks) are published by three ostensibly separate publishers -- Crimson, Iris, and Lupine Publishers. Examples from the Biomedical Conferences list include

The only journal in my quick sample that does not belong to another publisher, the Biomedical Journal of Scientific and Technical Research has the following underpunctuated "aim and scope" for "rendering a global podium" of "scientific knowledge on science":

The only motto of Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research (BJSTR) Publishers is accelerating the scientific and technical research papers, considering the importance of technology and the human health in the advanced levels and several emergency medical and clinical issues associated with it, the key attention is given towards biomedical research. Thus, asserting the requirement of a common evoked and enriched information sharing platform for the craving readers. BJSTR is such a unique platform to accumulate and publicize scientific knowledge on science and related discipline. This multidisciplinary open access publisher is rendering a global podium ...

Is it a coincidence that the webpages of both this flaky journal and the Biomedical Conferences webpages are copyrighted by Lupine Publishers LLC and that the spam for Biomedical Conferences came from Lupine Publishers? The Aurora, Colorado, "editorial offices" of Lupine Press are a four-bedroom house at the registered address of both Crimson and Lupine Publishers. Postings on Crimson, Iris, and Lupine Publishers have more information about them and one man, Sudheer Kaku, who may be behind them.

Iris Publishers, "your one-stop-place for latest scientific!"

The About Us webpage of Iris Publishers (7/12/18) has such ringing phrases as "your one-stop-place for latest scientific!" "aiding the growth of learners ... for the prosperity of science." They want "to exploit the scientific information"and "to unfold the quality research globally." To exploit and unfold, IRIS uses a "potential Editorial team" and a "highly qualified and expert Editorial committee [that] is indulged in scrutinizing articles with stringent peer review process ensuring that it follows our policies." Who could ask for anything more?

Iris has pictures of 35 journals on its website -- 36 if you count the World Journal of Yoga and Natural Therapy twice inasmuch as it "is an ambidextrous journal."

The domain name irispublishers.org is registered to New Dream Network, LLC dba DreamHost Web Hosting. The telephone number on the contact page, 914-407-6109, also is used by Lupine Publishers, which is "focused on ... Remedial missions in relation with Technical Knowledge." Virtual office supplier, Regus, could be the source of the address of the office building in San Francisco. Clearly, there is reason to wonder where Iris is actually located. The spam inviting me "to join your hands with us in this instigate" suggests that the handshake would be quite a stretch.

UPDATE: Two comments of July 13, 2018, provide more information. One from "Smut Clyde" reveals that the common telephone number for Lupine and Iris (not to mention the flowery association) is no accident. He (or she) found that

Iris Publishers LLC is a Colorado Domestic Limited-Liability Company filed on May 18, 2018 .... The company's principal address is 7865 S Grand Baker St., Aurora, CO 80016. That Aurora street address is also the home of Lupine Publisher, Crimson Publisher, "Biomedical Research Ltd", and Sudheer Kaku (the scammer who registered the corresponding domains).

The address on the spam from the Global Journal of Forensic Science & Medicine is that of an office building with space rented by Regus. This company provides a "Virtual Office, The right image for your business, with a prestigious address and a range of supporting services."

UPDATE (5/17/19): Understandably, Mr. Kaku objects to being referred to as a "scammer." He commented (below) that "I own Biomedical Research Network + & Crimson Publishers and yes, the Colorado Address is an editorial office for the domains we did specify that on websites. We use Virtual offices for mail handling." He insisted that "we formed this corporation to publish quality research" and added "Please let me know if you come across any genuine complain or an instance where we scammed or didn't deliver on what we promised." At least two papers in the Annals of Biostatistics and Biometric Applications could not have received the peer review and editing that the journals promise to their authors and the public. So too, a reason to question whether the Peer Reviewed Journal of Forensic and Genetic Sciences is peer reviewed in practice as well as in name is at the posting on Lupine Publishers.

UPDATE (9/14/19): If further proof of the flakiness of Iris Publishers and related spammers is needed, it comes from an email referred to me by a professor in the United Kingdom who wrote that "[a]s these things go it really takes the biscuit! The standout bit is in bold below. [T]his seems to me to be a new low." The email from Iris reads as follows:

From: iris@publisher-france.com
Subject: top rated journals of Scopus and WoS
Date: 11 September 2019 14:30:00 BST
Good day,
Great opportunity to publish your article.
in the top rated journals of Scopus, until the end of 2019,
book a publication at the beginning of 2020.
Now, we have a program called “Co-authorship”. You can become a co-author of an already finished article, which is accepted for publication.
in a journal indexed in Scopus.
We translate the article to English and design the article ourselves.
We guarantee that your article will be published in the journal of Scopus and indexed.
We also have a large number of journals of all directions. We will help you publish your article quickly and monitor indexing to Scopus.
Send articles, ask questions.
We will be happy to answer you.

Perhaps Mr. Kaku can explain how he plans to make people into "co-authors" of "already finished" articles by having Iris translate it into English. Is the assumption that the "co-author" already is an author of the original article, or is "a program called 'Co-authorship'" a solicitation for plagiarism?

UPDATE (4/26/20): The peer review at Iris's Scientific Journal of Research and Reviews is also bogus. See Iris Publishers and the World's First Quantification of the Deal with Birds.
