If an academic expert in biological field lacks a sound publication profile with sufficient citations, it’s very difficult to introduce that person even with (1) the PubMed indexed papers, (2) about h-index or i10 index, and (3) about the necessity of online appearance of journals to be cited and to acquire the impact factor. Decent journals like Molecular Microbiology, PLOS ONE, BMC series journals and many others published by Springer, Elsevier, Wiley, etc. appear online. These shouldn’t be confused with the low graded non reviewed online journals. Therefore, the Academic Expert should have a clear idea on the “Thomson Reuters Journals”. However, how to get rid of the confusion based on the online journals?
Beall has a list that some of us refer to concerning predator journals. One of my RG friends, Mehdi, has a calculation to rank the predatory journals in terms of the types of charges they impose, how much is the review or lack of review. Have a look, thanks.
