Lexis wants "a worldwide and everlasting bond"


Lexis publishers (not to be confused with the LexisNexis information service) has eight journals. The publishing website states (3/1/19) that
"Launched in the year 2013, the Lexis Group comprising of Lexis Academy and Lexis Press, has come a long way in publishing sector."
One learns that
"Lexis Publisher compliments your worries about privacy on the Internet. This policy summaries what kind of your data will be collected by using this website, what we will do with collected data and our determinations to guard your privacy."
With a penchant for prose like this, what might Lexis do to your manuscripts?

I only looked at the website for the Journal of Biology and Today's World. Its "Guide for Authors" has this similarly inimitable introduction:
According to importance of researches in biological & medical sciences, Accuracy in selection of high-quality journal in these fields is essential. Journal of Biology and Today's World with the Supreme system that provided by the Lexis Academy, promised to the academic world, do efforts to having a qualify journal. Also, due to the more important role of biomedical research in living life, it was necessary with stringent quality control parameters, we can publish more accurately researches. Our other important goal is the establishment of peaceful and friendship between peoples from various nations; Experts from different countries that help us to control this journal is a good evidence for this purpose. No matter who are you for Journal of Biology and Today's World and exactly editorial process will exactly done for all submissions. Decision on all submitted manuscripts is independed to Nationality, academic degree and any relations to journal. This journal has not any agreement with any person or organization to facilitate acceptance or review process. If you found these abuses immediately inform office of the journal through this email: info@lexispublisher.com.
Although the National Library of Medicine rejected the journal for its collection, the journal's website proudly includes an NLM ID number. That number is merely for cataloguing. It identifies the journal as published in Iran by Marvdasht : Masoud Negahdary. The journal's ISSN also comes from the Iranian National Library and Archives.

The results of further efforts to track down who is responsible for these journals and conferences are given on the Flaky Academic Conferences blog.
