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.

  1. A couple of years ago you documented your encounters with "International Organization of Scientific Research (IOSR)". ALong the way you noted the existence of a little predatory-journal scampire owned by Chetan Sharma of Uttar Predash, with a dozen domains registered in the name "chetan.journals@gmail.com". Like "ajer.com" and "ajer.org" (American Journal of Engineering Research"), and International Journals of this and that, and so on.

    Now it turns out that those dozen domains / websites are housed on the one dedicated IP server... along with a few dozen others (registered more anonymously). https://domainbigdata.com/111.118.181.161

    On that list, you will find "Researchinventy.com". Which is to say, Inventy is just another of Chetan Sharma's grifts, kept separate from IOSR for some reason.

    Another domain on the server is "aqcj.org". This is the "African Quality Centre for Journals" - Chetan's entry in the Fake Impact Factor Industry, selling spurious Impact Factors to other scammers, but mainly to himself. Suffice to say that the AQCJ ratings of the World's Most Impactful Publishers shows IOSR at #9 (Nature, Science, Springer, IEEE, John Wiley and a few others scrape in just ahead). If you ask the Great Google about AQCJ, you'll find a general agreement that it's a branch of IOSR, though space does not permit a summary of the reasons.

    Anyway, not many other parasite-publisher grifters actually use the AQCJ scores... but Inventy does.

    There are also a number of people turning up on both IOSR and Inventy Editorial Boards, but you get the picture by now.

  2. "Invention" are part of that IP-address nexus as well: https://flakyj.blogspot.com/search/label/Invention

    I had forgotten your coverage of AJER:
    https://flakyj.blogspot.com/search/label/AJER

    Another thing uniting AJER, IOSR and Inventy is their use of Daum.net e-addresses to spam you.
