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.

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.

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 only thing they take ample time to process the submission.

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...
