The HSOA Journal of Forensic, Legal & Investigative Sciences Is Back!

After years of silence, the Journal of Forensic, Legal & Investigative Sciences (JFLIS) is back in my mailbox. In 2016, I noted that its publisher, Herald Scholarly Open Access, had one journal with a dog sitting on its editorial board. JFLIS continues in this tradition. Even with a dead man working on its board, it still "publishes up-to-date key excellences." (The post-mortem interval for the deceased population geneticist, Ranajit Chakraborty, is about 4.6 years.)

Among the other editorial members (as listed on the JFLIS website) are the following:

• Sue Black
  Professor, Department of Anatomy and Forensic Anthropology, University College Of London, UNITED STATES
• Henry C Lee
  Chair Professor, Department of Forensic Science Program, University Of New Haven, UNITED STATES

AM Publication(s) and The International Research Journal of Computer Science

AM Publication (or Publications -- the website uses both spellings) is "the greatest in the field of journal publication." Each "Peer reviewed Journal" (there are three of them) is for online-only "publication of new ideas founded by academicians, educationist, engineers people."

The "Double Blind Peer reviewed" process moves at an insane pace -- "The paper will be reviewed within Two days." Or maybe not -- according to the AM journal I looked at, "Author will get their Acceptance/Rejection Notification within 3 days of submitting paper."

The journals come from "Plot-9, Varuna Golden Enclave, Opp-Anand Electronics, HOSUR - 635109 Tamil Nadu, INDIA." The publication charge is a bargain: "65 USD If author want to get one hard copy of certificate , he/she have to submit 500 INR."

The International Research Journal of Computer Science is

for publication of new ideas founded by academicians, educationist, administrator and corporate people. The research results and fundamental advancement are all aspects of innovative Research in Information Security and various disciplines, etc. IRJCS is a ... Journal which helps to academic person as well as student community.

Some "issues" consist of a single, lonely paper. The journal requires authors to assign their copyright. It will not display any article unless the would-be reader supplies an email address. Being uninclined to do that, I could not view even an abstract of the article on "The Effect of the Analytical Threshold on the Loss and Gain of Data from Single Source and Mixed DNA Samples" by Heather Miller Coyle (a professor at the University of New Haven's Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences) and co-authors Aidan E. Kirby, and Jennifer Chance-Johnson.

It seems safe to say that IRJCS might not be the greatest journal for sharing research "related to Various Computer Science discipline and Advanced Technologies."

Hilaris Publisher offers suggestions for improvisations

Would you trust the editing of your paper to an online publisher whose website speaks of an "editorial committee comprising reputed authors and academicians [who] offer their suggestions for improvisations, before getting them published finally"? If so, Hilaris SRL is the place to go. Its webpage banners proclaim that it is "Bringing Forth the Latest Scientific, Engineering and Medical Advancements to Limelight" and "Integrating Creativity and Knowledge for Enlightening Young Aspirants."

It is not surprising, then, that Hilaris made it onto Beall's list of predatory publishers and conference organizers. A search of the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) whitelist returned only one Hilaris Journal and identified the publisher as based in Bulgaria. Hilaris's Contact Us" webpage has a Brussels "registered address." The domain names hilarispublisher.com, e-hilaris.com, and hilarisconferences.com are registered by a proxy rather than the actual owners.

A 2015 discussion of Hilaris on Research Gate produced the following observations:

• We submitted an article to a journal from the Hilaris group 3 months ago. They did not acknowledge receiving the manuscript and now they accepted it without any peer review and are charging a huge APC. ... --Mukulika Bose,University of North Carolina at Charlotte
• If you Google the journal's name you see OMICS links (if you click on them you are redirected to Hilaris). Looks like an attempt to cover up that OMICS is behind it, a notorious predatory publisher. Contact info is linked to eScience, iMed.Pub both mentioned in the Beall’s list.--Rob Keller, Charlemagne College, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
• We submitted an article in October, last year. After acceptance, we suspect the journal and decide to withdraw the submission, however they charged us almost 1000 euros with such a "withdrawal charge". We blocked them in the email. We also found out that one of the journal's directors has been dead for 2 years, he was a professor at an university in São Paulo state, Brazil.

A search of the ISSN portal for registration information on the The Journal of Forensic Research, ISSN: 2157-7145, confirms the link to the OMICS group (www.omicsonline.org/jfrhome.php; see also https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q27724675), widely known for its deceptive practices. The ISSN record claims the United States as the home of the Bulgarian-Belgian-Indian journal. Indeed, this blog has an entry devoted to this journal, and the Forensic Science, Statistics, and the Law blog notes that OMICS was the publisher when the journal was specifically included in an injunction secured by the FTC to stop its deceptive practices.

The editors-in-chief are supposed to be

• Dr. Jianye Ge, University of North Texas Health Science Center, Institute of Applied Genetics, USA
• Dr. Jian Tie, Assistant Professor, Department of Legal Medicine, Nihon University School of Medicine, Japan
• Dr. Sheila M Willis, Director, Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Forensic Science Laboratory, Ireland.

Actually, the designations for editors are inconsistent. One webpage lists Dr. Willis as an editor-in-chief, but another does not. Both have been said to be fraudulent. \1/ The latter page lists Dr. Ge twice. (That is ironic, since he has told me that he repeatedly sought to have his name removed.) The editorial board is said to include "Peter Gill, Professor of Forensic Genetics, University of Oslo, Norwegian Institute of Public Health, Norway."

The lead article in the most recent issue (11:6, 2020) bears the carefully edited title "A Path of Sympathetic to the Forensic Science from the Sight of Forensic Anthropology." Thankfully, the "in Press" list of articles is blank. \2/ 

NOTES

1. On November 23, 2021, an anonymous comment to this posting observed that "Sheila Willis is a friend and colleague of mine. She has been trying to have her name removed from the journal but has been unsuccessful so far. She is not affiliated with this journal in any way. In addition, the photo and bio provided with Sheila's name are not even hers."
2. In the archives, one can find the (well written) work of researchers and administrators from the U.S. Department of Justice and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Gregory J. Dutton, Gerald M. LaPorte, Iris R. Wagstaff, and H.R. Spivak, Cultivating the Next Generation of Forensic Scientists Through Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), J.

Mathews Journal of Forensic Research Charges for Wastage of Precious Resources

Mathews Open Access Journals About Us page includes such putative sentences as "So that we can rejoice the miraculous outcomes of the researches done by our passionate researchers, professors, young and energetic scholars." The real miracle may be to get authors to pay "[t]he processing charges for a single manuscript [of] 1539 USD" and the "withdrawal charges" for "wastage of precious resources including editors, reviewers, and the editorial staff."

The first spam arrived in March 2018, for the Mathews Journal of Forensic Research. The journal website falsely claims to publish bimonthly and to release one volume per year. In November 2020, Mathews still advertises papers from issue 1 in 2018 as its only "recent articles." It has a picture of an issue for "volume 2" (dated 2019), but if it has any content, I cannot find it.

The editorial board does not include an editor-in-chief. The only US member is said to be Evan T. Keller, a professor of urology and pathology at the University of Michigan medical school, who works on prostate cancer bone metastasis and other topics apparently unrelated to forensic science research.

Research Infotext's Immense Pleasure

Research Infotext seems to be a collection of names of journals and editors in search of publications. Clicking around in the top two journals listed in the "journals catalogue" produces only the names of editors. The advertised journals have absolutely nothing in their "current issues" and "archives."

The journal that spammed me is equally empty. The email came from "John GETZ, ME." A JM Getz is a coauthor of six articles in the field of forensic pathology indexed on Google Scholar. The journal refers to "Prof. John Getz," but it gives no academic or other affiliation for him. The US members of the editorial board are said to be

• "Michael I. Schaffer, Ph.D, Fellow of the American Board of Forensic Toxicology, VP Laboratory Operations, Psychemedics Corporation, California, USA," and
• "DAVID E. MOODY, Ph.D., Center for Human Toxicology, University of Utah, United States."

The domain name researchinfotext.com is registered by proxy (with GoDaddy's help). However, at the same IP address is rinfotext.com, registered by Narendra Nalavalli of Ashburn, Virginia (narendranalavalli@gmail.com, 315-998-2964), which mostly matches the contact information on the website. However, neither Google Maps, Zillow.com, nor the US Postal service's zipcode finder recognizes "4192 Devonwood Way." (The address provided for the journal is 4192 Devonwood Way, Ashburn, VA 20148. Only large, single-family houses are situated on a Devonwood Way in Dulles, Virginia 20148.)

A Narendra Nalavalli also registered the names tlkumarcreations.com and teamkumar.com. The latter solicits donations for Kumar Prescod, a very young boxer "Full of Raw Talent and Laser Focus". The registration is now in GoDaddy's hands, but it originally came from Narendra Nalavalli, kumar_lavan(at)yahoo.co.in, 409, tilak road, tirupati, India. Although DomainBigData.com links all three, perhaps these two are the work of a different Narenda Nalavalli.

JScholar's Journal of Forensic Research and Crime Studies (JFRCS)

JScholar's Journal of Forensic Research and Crime Studies (JFRCS) promises "maintaining rigorous peer-review process." A competent academic journal would use referees to suggest improvements in most articles they recommend for acceptance, but the JFRCS reviewers need not spend much time on that because "All accepted papers will be appeared online immediately" and online is the only mode of publication. Instant publication also helps lighten the editors' workload.

The latest article has such mysterious keywords as "Stranger Legal System" and "Frayed Punishment." For the curious, here is the abstract:

This article is based after prolong research on the subject matter whether the doctrine of incremental punishment is practicable. The pathetic case of Aruna Shanbag has been taken as the central theme of the research. The Doctrine of Double Principle looks all right till such time cases of this nature confront us. And such incidences are on the rise. The responsible society cannot look the other day and wish that such nagging questions may fade away. Not any longer. The idea of Doctrine of Incremental Punishment is being raised which may be applicable in grievous and dangerous hurt particularly when this has far-reaching effect on the victim.

Thank goodness for "rigorous peer-review process."

The cost for the privilege of having work posted in this journal is $777. The institution supplying the most papers so far is the Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Science at the University of New Haven. Need I mention that Dr. Lee is on the editorial board? The college  has provided 43% of the 44 pages that comprise the three slim "volumes." An issue -- indeed, an entire volume -- can consist of a single paper. Some volumes are single issues.

Heighten Science's Journal of Forensic Science and Research

Heighten Science Publications Corporation seems to be run out of a house in the Dallas area (by the town's mayor). It publishes a Journal of Forensic Science and Research. The journal has no editor and no editorial board members. At least, none are listed on its website. The home page lists "recent articles" -- all from 2017. Forensic scientists will be pleased to learn that "The Journal of Forensic Science and Research considers forensic science as a multidisciplinary and rigorous discipline which is at an important stage of its development."

The webpage has buttons to list articles by country. There are two from the U.S., dated 2017 -- on sports medicine rather than forensic science. The page is full of links to the content of other Heighten journals. When I finally navigated to the page of "all volumes and issues" of the Journal of Forensic Science and Research, there were three issues. Volume 1(1) contains articles such as "WMW: A Secure, Web based Middleware for C4I Interoperable Applications." Issue 2 has four articles in forensic medicine. Finally, Volume 2(1) has two articles, on topics in forensic toxicology and entomology. All told, there are not many pages for two volumes (or even one).

Given the absence of indicia of quality for Heighten Science journals, one wonders why reputable researchers would publish there. Yet, some do. A short case report from Steven A Koehler and Victor W Weedn on a "Failure to Autopsy: The Otto Warmbier Case" can be found in Issue 2 of Volume 1. Dr. Weedn is a professor at George Washington University and was the Senior Forensic Advisor in the U.S. Department of Justice.

Ocimum's Foray: into "Forensic Sciences: Methods and Techniques"

Ocimum Scientific Publishers is an Australian company that seems to be reporting revenues of $11 million with journals that are nascent at best. The email to me (4/29/19) speaks of a "second issue" that will appear in June. The website lists three issues of Forensic Sciences: Methods and Techniques as already published, but all three turn out to have the same paltry 38 pages of articles. That mode of publication could makes it challenging if anyone wants to cite their work.

The editorial board has the following U.S. members ("from reputed universities"):

⊘ Stephen G Tibbetts, Professor, California State University, San Bernardino (editor-in-chief)
⊘ William D Bales, Professor, Florida State University
⊘ Vaughn M Bryant, Professor, Texas A&M University
⊘ Midori Albert, Professor, University of North Carolina Wilmington
⊘ Camille Gibson, Professor, Prairie View A&M University
⊘ Sheri Jenkins Keenan, Clinical Assistant Professor, The University of Memphis

JScholar wants "to curve the future of scientific world"

The "JScholar Vision" is "[e]merging on a custom of editorial excellence for framing the network that brings together the specialized journals to provide enhanced access to the research, reviews and to curve the future of scientific world." The journals promise publication within 28 days. At least, I think that is what the publisher means by "The duration for publishing an article is 28 days." The "Author Guidelines" also state that the articles will be plagiarized -- "The received manuscripts will undergo plagiarism (copying text or results from other sources) for its uniqueness and also self-plagiarism (duplicating substantial parts of authors' own published work without giving the appropriate references) by Quality Analysts.".

The ownership of JScholar is not obvious. Under "CONTACT INFO," the homepage has the address of JScholar Publishers, 185 E Homestead Rd, Sunnyvale, CA 94087, +1 (607) 523-4092. But the "CONTACT US" page uses 18170 Dallas Pkwy Suite 104, Dallas Texas 75287, +14692832220. An apartment house is located at the Sunnyvale address.

That address, by the way, is also the address of Clerisy Publishers. The websites have remarkable similarities. For example,

Lupine Publishers "craves to select scientific connotation"

Lupine Publishers describes itself (on its website, 2/19/19) as

a multidisciplinary, scholarly Open Access publisher focused on Genetic, Biomedical and Remedial missions in relation with Technical Knowledge as well. We crave to select ground-breaking research based on modernism, aptness, scientific connotation, prospective spectator’s interests, etc. We endeavor to provide by far and liberally accessible belvedere to researchers and practitioners in support of their novel and valuable ideas. We already have 2000+ Editorial Board members along with 5000+ Published articles in our box. Our Journals maintain a scrupulous, methodical, fair peer review System. Besides, quality control is riveted in each step of the publication process.

This description raises the question of how many editors and articles can fit in one box. The box contains such articles as Association of Blood Group with Tea Likeliness, Bitter Gourd Relish and Blood Group Relationship, and Is There Any Fluctuation in Normal Blood Pressure While Watching Horror Movies?

The company information database Buzzfile provides, inter alia, these questions and answers (2/19/19):

Q. How big is Lupine Publishers?
A. Lupine Publishers is estimated to generate $37,589 in annual revenues, employs approximately 1 people [sic] at this location
Q. Where is Lupine Publishers located?
A. Lupine Publishers is located at 7865 S Grand Baker St, Aurora, CO 80016.
Q. How long has Lupine Publishers been in business?
Lupine Publishers has been in business for approximately 2 years.

Although Lupine purports to operate out of New York City, Buzzfile's address for it is a four bedroom home at 7865 S Grand Baker St., Aurora, CO 80016. The New York City address is a Regus Virtual Office that provides what the company calls a "professional address" for putting "your business in the best possible location with a credible address and mail handling service."

Lupine Publishers spams for OMICS-related conferences. An email from the subtly named Peer Reviewed Journal of Forensic & Genetic Sciences (below) advertised a production of the Biomedical Conferences LLC, which seems to be a name used by Conference Series, which is an OMICS domain. Conference Series, Lupine Publishers, Iris Publishers, and Crimson Publishers are just some of the enterprises whose domains are registered to Sudheer Kaku, "Software Engineer and Web Developer in Aurora, Colorado."

The peers involved in the Peer Reviewed Journal of Forensic and Genetic Sciences do not seem to care too much about whether the articles concern forensic science or genetics. For example, A New Demographic Situation and Problems of Employment in Uzbekistan describes the disturbing rate of unemployment in the country but sounds an optimistic note: "The country leader based on the adopted state programs completely stimulated the steady growth of creation of jobs and employment of the population."

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.

SciDoc is "spreading the knowledge from the desks to the doors of the masses"

From the SciDoc website: "SciDoc Publishers achievements till date includes: ... Special Issues, which is roaring high."

Among the many journal titles listed there is the "JBR Journal of Translational Space dentistry, Medicine and Exploration (JBR-TSME)." The editor-in-chief is "Balwant Rai, Director of Space dentistry, Kepler Space Institute, USA." The Kepler Space Institute's home page explains that the institute "is dedicated to the expansion of human civilization from Earth into space. We believe this is necessary, both to acquire resources – based on the Law of Space Abundance to provide the fundamental needs of preserving peace and prosperity for humankind on this planet – and to extend life through our solar system and beyond." Mr. Rai's name does not appear on this website, but he is editor-in-chief of OMICS' JBR Journal of Interdisciplinary Medicine and Dental Science. That speaks volumes.

The International Journal of Forensic Science & Pathology (IJFP), which spammed me, is not listed on the journals page of the website. A word search of the website returns a link that generates a smattering of articles from other journals. If there are editors of and articles in this journal, they are not easily found.

The enterprising chap behind SciDoc may be Hari Sarangam, 2542 Rockhampton Rd, San Ramon, California 94582, 302-703-1005, Phonehari.s@scidoc.org. Mr. Sarangam is the owner of the domains scidocopenaccess.com, i2itechsolutions.com, scidoc.biz, and scidocpublishers.biz.

We would like to take this opportunity in congratulating you for getting the Research grant of National Science Foundation (NSF). [← Maddy seems to be confused. I have no such grant, although I am a co-PI on a recent grant application.]
  We are an Open Access publisher working to disseminate knowledge and to create an archival literature platform in Forensic Science & Pathology. We aim to publish high quality Open Access journals around the globe, with contributions from eminent authors like you. We would be very delighted to have your submissions in our journal, as your research work on “Forensic Science” fits well with the IJFP.
  We kindly request you to confirm us with respect to your interest of participation. Should you have any further queries, concerns or comments, please feel free to contact us, we will assist you. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
  Best Regards

InTechOpen, Intech, Sciyo

InTechOpen's main web pages site are devoid of the usual solecisms and grammatical errors seen on the websites of many smaller and plainly questionable publishers preying on academics. The About Us page describes the group as "the world's largest Science, Technology and Medicine Open Access book publisher." It claims InTechOpen "has published 2,977 books and 46,833 scientific works total by 100,665 international scientists" (whatever "international" means in this context). That would be about 2 books every 3 days and 11 articles every day, 7 days a years, for the 12 years of InTechOpen's self-proclaimed "journey to democratise knowledge."

In 2018, InTechOpen wanted me to pay them 1,400 Euros to write a chapter of between 14 and 20 pages for a book on "Trends and Challenges in Forensic Analysis ? New Frontiers in Forensic Science." I have to wonder about the question mark in the title, but there is not much doubt about likely quality. The subject areas include "nuclear physicists" and "testing." The book description reads:

Forensic Analysis is a field of Forensics to be explored and then executed with a hope to deliver better justice to the mankind. It includes a wide field of forensics unexplored and unearthed, which will be the prime reference for forensic researchers, diagnostic, chemists and physicists for their future practice in their respective fields. The book will visualize and primarily focus on the various aspects of new frontiers in forensic science associated with the production, collection or interrogation of such evidential sample. This will also amalgamate fundamental principles of forensic analysis, protocols and procedures needed for the better forensics. The principles and techniques detailed are then demonstrated and discussed in their applications to real-world investigations and casework conducted over the past several years so that it becomes an evaluation hardcover of all aspects of forensic analysis.

The editor of the book is B. Suresh Kumar Shetty. Dr. Shetty also is an editor for the disreputable OMICS International's Journal of Paediatric Medicine and Surgery.

Earlier invitations (4/24/17, 5/1/17, 5/8/17) sought 1,200 Euros from me for a small chapter in "'Post Mortem Examination and Autopsy - From Death Scene to Laboratory Analysis,' edited by Dr. Kamil Hakan Dogan." Dr. Dogan also edits the Journal of Cardiovascular Diseases and Diagnosis for OMICS International. That InTech finds it necessary to write the following description of "death scene and autopsy" for would-be authors is odd:

Death scene and autopsy may be horrifying for some people. Death scene investigation, post mortem examination, and autopsy are generally performed for the benefit of the living. A death investigation begins with body examination and evidence collection at the scene and proceeds through history, post mortem examination and autopsy, laboratory tests, and determining the cause and manner of death. Although forensic pathology is the oldest branch of the forensic sciences, today many branches of forensic sciences play a role in solving criminal death cases.

InTechOpen was on Beall's list of predatory publishers. The website www.intechopen.com is not registered to its founders. Instead, they use a proxy company in Arizona, obscuring their identities. The first emails came from Teo Kos, from InTechOpen Publishing Process Manager, kos@intechopen.com, +385 (51) 770 447, Janeza Trdine 9, 51000 Rijeka, Croatia.

Other reports indicate that InTechOpen is another name for the venture known as InTech or Sciyo that had a serious reputation problem. See

In 2016, Sage Publishing, an Indian company, purchased five of Intechopen's journals.

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."
