I want whether the publisher is fake or real? Because there is no website of this publisher.
I got an e-mail from them that they were recruiting paid reviewers/editors for all the journals published (100USD for every article successfully reviewed). This is also not common to recruit for paid reviewer right?
Jolien van der Geugten yes, i think so. About 5 months ago, i received this email, i submitted my CV and then they mentioned some particular organization and i was supposed to send my documents for verification to them with fee. At that moment, i thought it is something fake. Recently, again they send me the same email but this time the mentioned organization for documents verification was different. Imagine! how such people deceive.....
I got the same email, but I could not find the websites of listed journals. I also saw the website of “Horizon Research Publishing”. Although there was similarity in the name of their journals with the list in the email, but it was not exactly the same. In addition, this publisher has an application form for reviewers which should be completed in the web site, not send by email. Furthermore, this publisher has explained the advantage of reviewing is just discounts for the publication of reviewers’ articles, not payment to them.
