"SciRes Literature LLC. brings a genuine research to you all Journals rigorously relevant to the topics of Science." The company's website lists 57 online journals. I looked at one, the American Journal of Rare Disorders: Diagnosis & Therapy (AJRDDT), for a taste of what they are like. Three pages on an "Egyptian Case of Parry-Romberg Syndrome" comprise the entire American journal. No editor-in-chief is named, but with only two editors listed, maybe none is necessary. The two editors are said to be Mohamed Ateia (Clemson University, France), and Ken H. Young (The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, USA). As far as I know, Clemson University is in the United States, and a Mohamed Ateia there is a postdoc in the Department of Environmental Engineering and Earth Science. Ken H. Young is a professor in the Department of Hematopathology MD Anderson Cancer Center.

UPDATE 1/15/22: Among the best comments received are ones
- quoting an email addressed to "Dear Doctor" beginning with the hope that "everything is groovy at you!" and continuing "This is a righteous reminder to request your quiescent contribution of innovative article towards our American Journal of Rare Disorders"
- soliciting the recipient to be a peer reviewer with a "fairly generous time frame at 4-5 days" for the review
- reporting the publication in the Open Journal of Surgery of the author's spoof on "ostentatious implantation" (surgery performed "in full morning-dress with top-hat and white gloves") of a foot into the mouths of "entirely fabricated patients" to cope with a condition afflicting "the genus politica and associated ruling castes," attributed to the "increasing prevalence of Higg’s bosons in proximity to Large Hadron Colliders" and "funded by a grant from the Universal Sadist Association" (paper at https://www.scireslit.com/Surgery/OJS-ID20.pdf

And here is the request I got. Had never heard of this particular brand of predatory journals. Liked the generous time frame to review and article :-)
ReplyDelete!
The below mentioned manuscript has been submitted to the Journal of Biomedical Research & Environmental Sciences.
Title: Prevalence and Determinants of Pregnancy Outcomes among mothers with Hypertensive Disorders at Woliso Saint Luke Hospital, Southwest Ethiopia
We suspect that the subject area will be of interest to you.
So, would you consider acting as a referee on this manuscript? The timeframe is fairly generous at 4-5 days. We would be very grateful if you could.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
