I received this in my email:
Dear (no name), Hello! As a representative of ENCYCLOPAEDIC PUBLISHING PTE.LTD., I sincerely invite you to serve as a member of the editorial board of the new international academic journal "Journal of North Pharmacy". With your professional experience and academic achievements in pharmacy, I sincerely hope that you will join us. "Journal of North Pharmacy" is an open-access international academic journal whose purpose is to publish innovative academic papers for the global "Journal of North Pharmacy" industry, introduce unique scientific research results, and expand international exchanges and cooperation. The language used in the journal is English.
I googled the name of this publisher and it actually exists. Is it just a startup or another spam.a
I am afraid that this is another predatory publisher, looks like the same start of MDPI and alikes.
Please let us know about this publisher or any similar ones. Thanks.
Dear Moustafa El-Araby ,
The publisher “ENCYCLOPAEDIC PUBLISHING PTE.LTD.” http://en.encyclopub.com/ indeed seems to exist since 2019 (https://www.scilit.net/publisher/12746). It is/used to be primarily focussed on the Chinese market/researchers (by itself of course no problem but I see no real signs for their ambition to become internationally oriented).
Using their contact info (21 Serangoon North Avenue 5, #03-03 Ban Teck Han Building,Singapore 554864) you see a link to PiscoMed Publishing Pte. Ltd. http://www.piscomed.com/ and Frontier Scientific Publishing Pte. Ltd. http://www.front-sci.com/contact/ where PiscoMed is mentioned in the Beall’s list (https://beallslist.net/ ) of potential predatory publishers.
A journal title like "Journal of North Pharmacy" sounds well... somewhat strange.
Without looking at the actual publications it is to me all too vague and I would stay away from this one.
Best regards.
Update 08-12-2021 they have been added to the Beall's list today https//beallslist.net (select changelog)
Kind regards,
I've never heard of the journal. Maybe the journal is a new journal. In writing references, we have never cite manuscripts from these journals.
So, hopefully useful.
Rob Keller Rob,
Thanks for reply and continuous support of the RG community through valuable posts.
I will take your advice and I will turn down this invitation.
Yugo Susanto Thank you very much. We will watch this publisher and its journals as it is trying to grow.
