Inderscience journals are quality journals only thing they take ample time to process the submission.

Have a look here, hope it helps:

Unfortunately many excellent magazines/journals are not listed in TR impact factors(including many IEEE journals, IET), please review how impact factors are computed. It shouldn't be the factor judging a journal quality. This has been pointed out by several researchers:see:

I do believe inderscience is a respectful publisher.

are inderscience publisher journals  predatory journals?

I suspect so, at least for some of their journals.

This is my experience:

on October 10th, 2016 I submitted a paper to IJBET (International Journal of Biomedical Engineering and Technology).

After 6 months with no answer I asked the status of the paper. After two unsuccessful trials the assigned editor (using a Yahoo account!! ) told me that he had only one review and was waiting for the second one. I answered that I agreed to wait for the second review.

I was regularly checking the site and always the status was: under review.

After one year the secretary (not the editor) sent me a message saying that one year was passed from the submission without hearing from me so the editor decided to withdraw my paper! Of course my reply to the editor never received an answer.

If you look at the published papers they are suspiciously from the same geographical area of the editor.

Take your conclusions.

If Giuseppina Carla Gini's experience can be used to define a journal, I then think Applied Water Science that has kept my manuscript under review for more than 2 years or African Geogr. Review whose manging Editor was provoked to promptly reject my manuscript the day I humbly requested to remind them that it had passed another 4 months after the first round of revision (for minor revision option) should then make me call the journals names. But far from it, such experiences though not pleasant, do not make journal be defined as predatory. Predatory journals will publish anything and ask you for money. They send unsolicited requests into your mails.

While it is not all journals without Impact Factor (IF) that are predatory, almost all journals with IF have a certain level of standard except the recent emerging source database. Even a journal rejected my paper because they have now being added to the Web of Science (WoS) and there is a level of major revisions they can tolerate. By the way, some Inderscience journals, such as the International Journal of Global Warming, have impact factor. Generally, upcoming scholars are encouraged to published in WoS indexed journals to enhance their experience and the visibility of their research.

Inderscience journals might have decided not to join the Thompson Reuters databases. As such, journals that published in Inderscience should not be viewed as substandard journals

Yes, a number of journals published by Inderscience have been included in SSCI list such as European Journal of International Management, International Journal of Mobile Communications, etc.

Inderscience journals have rigourous peer review procedure. They are quality journals.

Like some have already mentioned, not all Inderscience journals are included in the TR Master list. Because other traditional publishing outlets like OUP and Emerald have the same problem (at least for journals that started publishing recently), we can’t be unfair to Inderscience by saying some of their journals are predatory. I however admit that Inderscience have an extremely rigorous review policy that I think makes their peer review process abnormally long and almost unbearable. Some papers, though simple and short, can take up to three years in review, which means that by the time they accept your paper and publish it, some of your references would be out of date or less relevant. I have therefore stopped submitting papers to Inderscience journals, but their approach possibly provides a unique learning curve for authors.

We submitted a paper few months back to the International Journal of Environmental Technology and Management published by Inderscience and just received the reviewer comments for revision.The quality of review is very good and intends to improve the standard of the paper.I myself is a reviewer of journals published by Springer-Nature,Taylor Francis groups and though this journal does not have TR impact factor,i still recommend researchers to submit their papers to this journal.

The peer review process of Inderscience journals is extreme and rigorous. If you send your article to these journals, prepared to receive many pages of detailed comments, and in most cases, rejection.

Dear Hamilton Allen Turner ,

Just an update:

International Journal of Environment and Pollution (2018 impact factor 0.69)

International Journal of Mobile Communications (2018 index in SSCI)

International Journal of Bio-Inspired Computation (2018 impact factor 3.395)

Numerous journals are SCOPUS indexed.

Their business model seems to be subscriptions. They offer Open Access option but they charge a staggering 3000 USD for it.

They seem to start with Open Access journals like International Journal of Advanced Intelligence Paradigms and charge 1600 USD for it.

So it all seems legit and I feel this is a player that searches for niches in the publication market. I think that the main reason why a relatively small number of journals are having an SCI or SCCI index is due to the small number of articles each journal is publishing. If you publish a non-open access paper I wonder how many people will be able to read it.

Best regards.

Inderscience journals are quality journals...follows a rigorous process before publication. Target ABDC and Scopus indexed journals in Inderscience.

I published my first paper in the Inderscience's Middle East Journal of Management -MEJM -2019. It takes time but, be sure it has a very good reputation and future. This is my paper.. Article Leadership competencies of middle managers and employees' jo...

Inderscience journals are quality journals

Inderscience journals are in Scopus indexed journals. The reviwe process is excellent. If we make the changes according to the reviewers comments as soon as possible then it don't take much time to get published.

papers published in inderscience go through rigorous peer review process. Most of the journals are indexed in ABDC journal list.

Agreed to that but in India Scopus and ABDC are acceptable in most of the institutes. Obviously TR has a great international value.

It’s a good organization

I appreciate the review quality in Inderscience but I suggest the group need to facilitate citations of papers, which will enable the journals to have TR impact factors.

Yes they have a good review process and also insist citations from previous issues of the Journal. BUT UNFORTUNATELY THIS TIME A GOOD NUMBER OF JOURNALS HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED FROM ABDC LIST. THAT IS WORRISOME.

Yeah Pradip Kumar Mitra, i have also observed that. One of their journal in which i published used to be in the ABDC list but just saw that it was not in the 2019 ABDC list.

Indurscience Journals are very much quality journals. Few of them has IF. Many of them are indexed in Scopous. The problem is that they take time to process papers.

Yes u are right process is lengthy it takes a year almost to get it published . I have three publications and all have taken 10 to 12 months to get it published.

Yes, they have a very rigourous review process and take long to process articles. Some of them are SCOPUS, ABDC, REPEC listed. They are quality journals.

Hamilton Allen Turner, I have published in some Inderscience journals and it took about a year to publish the papers. The papers in press are not integrated early as in other databases like Emerald so accessibility to others may delay in that context. In Emerald for instance, the submission ID is basically used to generate the DOI while in Inderscience, DOIs are assigned getting to the time of publication. Notwithstanding, your papers may be cited early when in press.

In terms of citation, access to the papers to University databases and libraries is key. My Universities in my country did not subscribe to Inderscience journals so that has implications on the level of citation. Research shows that open access papers are highly cited.

From my experiences on the quality of the review process, I would encourage authors to submit to Inderscience journals.

I prefer publishing in Inderscience and journals are mostly in Q2 and Q3 however there are very less journals in Q1. IJESB and IJTM are the two journals where it is very difficult to publish. Process is lengthy but thats Okay. They provide sufficient time to the reviewers. One of the journal under emerald (kybernetes) has rigorous process and is a good option for researchers. Systematic processing and timely information is shared by editor.

Researchers can collaborate for joint publication ([email protected])

I sent in something in January and have not heard back until now. Its September. It might have something to do with COVID19.

Hi, Dr Neeta

It is true. They delay a lot. Once it is a covid paper, wiley and Taylor and Francis journals have devoted their time to timely publication of such related papers.

As is stands now, it possible that by the time it is published, it would have been of "less relevant" considering th2e issues it contains

I have published one paper earlier in a journal of Inderscience group . Recently I had a bitter experience with a journal which is Scopus linked . One of our papers was reviewed by two referees and we received certain points to be complied.All the queries were met and the paper was expected to be accepted, To our surprise the paper was rejected citing reason that it lacked novelty , If at all this was an issue it could have been mentioned in the first review .This shows the immaturity of the reviewers and biased rejection by the editor.This is not a sign of a good scientific journal .

Yes it gets delayed in reviewing and publishing. If reviewer does not submit on time or reject to review at the end then it gets delayed. But publication gets delayed sometimes due to bulk of work but they check thoroughly all details before it gets published. Probably due to COVID they might have shortage of staff doing the final editing.@

Indescience takes long time to review and publish papers. I submitted a paper to International Journal on Migration and Border Studies since early June 2019 and I have only just confirmed the final approval of the paper 2 days ago. Who knows when the paper will be published? Regardless, I enjoyed the thoroughness and rigour they took me through. I learnt a lot from them.

I have published about 5 articles under Inderscience staple. Needless to mention the wasted during the process.

Yes It takes a long time to publish after the acceptance also. I am waiting for almost one year.
