Forty-nine journals are listed. I picked one to inspect. The Annals of International Case Reports' diligent and thorough process apparently does not bother with an editor-in-chief to make decisions. The first board member is the ubiquitous Alireza Heidari of the fake California Southern University.
The publisher's supposed address is "20 S. Third St., Ste. 210, Ohio, 43215, United States." You can rent a "virtual office" there from Regus for $1.60 - $7.20.
Although this LLC was incorporated in Ohio on May 18, 2018, by Keerthana Nallapuram, its true headquarters might be in Hyderabad. The D+B Hoovers database lists Redelve International Publications Private Limited, located at Plot No 94/a, First Floor Addagutta Society,hmt Colony, Kukatpally Rangareddi, Hyderabad, Telangana, 500072 India. Another database gives the date of incorporation with the Registrar of Companies, Hyderabad, as December 26, 2018.
The directors of the Indian corporation are Bala Bhargavi Marella and Raj Krishna Parvataneni. The registered email address is rajp@redelve.com. Redelve registered the domain name redelve.com on May 28, 2018.
Although the corporation has yet to file a financial report, Zoominfo states that the Ohio LLC has 18 employees and revenues of 3.8 million dollars -- an impressive feat for a company in its first year, with journals that have no editorial board.and no articles to show.
ReDelve has yet to email me as an esteemed researcher who could contribute to its divulgements. Instead, it came to my attention by trying to sneak an advertisement into this blog in the guise of a comment to a posting on Gavin Publishers. This practice on the part of unscrupulous advertisers is no longer unusual, as the posting entitled "Parasites" indicates.
