International Journal of Engineering Research and Development (IJERD)

The International Journal of Engineering Research and Development (IJERD)'s website is replete with danger signs:

⊘ No address
⊘ No publisher
⊘ Domain names hidden by Privacy Protect
⊘ "PEER REVIEWED JOURNAL" on the logo (and incredible promises in the email of 5-7 day peer review and 12 days from submission tom publication)
⊘ Claims to be listed in Index Copernicus but isn't
⊘ Large "impact factor" displayed
⊘ Frequently asked questions begin with "Whether it provide hard copy of Journal or not?"
⊘ A tab for a "Copy Right" form that does not assign any rights to the journal but assumes that it has them and purports to restrict the author's "proprietary rights"//

My efforts to track the journal down were mostly unsuccessful. I only found that the ISSN database lists it as an Indian journal and that the email (2/20/19) originated from Global Ra Net Services Pvt., Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India.

The website lists the following as U.S. members of the editorial board:

⊖ Dr. H. U. Akay - Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI)
⊖ Dr. J. S. Chen - University of California
⊖ Dr. J. Fish - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
⊖ Dr. D. K. Gartling - Engineering Sciences Center, Sandia National Laboratories
⊖ Dr. S. Ghosh - Ohio State University
