I found a site listed names of predatory journals. The same site tell the reader about the names of predatory publishers that may engaged in suspected publishing.
However, some journals belong to same publisher were not mentioned in the predatory list.
Does that mean that those some journals are not predatory ? Please, advise.
With predatory publishers creating dozens if not hundreds of predatory journals in a very short time, it is impossible to keep track of all of the individual journals of these publishers. The "independent" (or apparently independent) journals all need to be identified individually. We are in great need of an organization that keeps the information alive. We also need groups such as RG to remove the papers listed by individuals that are published in these journals from their publications list., or we end up with continuing confusion over the publications and the journals.
Derek Pyne,
In this case the predatory journals list will be extended too much, times of its original size, and this could be roughly conclusion of what it takes.

Just would like to note that while the original Beall's list web site (scholarly-oa.com) does not host the list anymore anyway, I have recently found a web site https://predatoryjournals.com/ which seems to build on and expand this list and list there predatory journals and publishers (see https://predatoryjournals.com/about/ )
