The American Journal of Biomedical Science & Research has extended an invitation for collaboration. However, it's important noting that the publisher of this journal, Biomed Grid LLC, is listed on Beall's List as potentially predatory. Would it be advisable to proceed with collaboration with this journal?

Dear Md. Masudul Islam Khan
As you indicated yourself the publisher behind the journal is listed in the Beall’s list (https://beallslist.net ) and the ‘logic’ behind the list is that and I quote “All journals published by a predatory publisher are potentially predatory unless stated otherwise.” Looking at the journal:
-I briefly discussed the journal already here https://www.researchgate.net/post/Can_anyone_inform_me_about_the_real_status_of_American_Journal_of_Biomedical_Science_Research_Is_it_predatory
-Their indexing info https://biomedgrid.com/biomedgrid-indexing-list.php is fulll of so-called misleading metrics (https://beallslist.net/misleading-metrics/ ) like ISI International and DRJI often used by predatory journals/publishers
-Contact info (333 City Boulevard West, 17th Floor Orange, California 92868, USA) is at best a virtual office (in other words why hide the true origin behind this operation)
-Looking at the editorial board I see that Ian James Martins https://biomedgrid.com/editor-in-chief.php is linked to for example Open Access Pub, Scientific Research Publishing and BIT Congress all dubious players in the scientific publishing world (see https://www.acquaintpublications.com/editor/51 )
Personally, I would avoid this one.
Best regards.
