Pere Prujà i Magallón Yes. I followed the link to the website: https://bostonresearch.org/?utm_source=research_circle_emails&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=marketing_followup_brjssh&utm_content=invitation&utm_term=2025-08-26

I then read some of the articles on the site. You will quickly see that they are fake: https://bostonresearch.org/archives/

Dear Ann Murray Interesting observation that AI defines them as non-predatory (based on one source).

This source turns out to be https://findrightjournal.com/boston-research-journals#:~:text=Boston%20Research%20Journals%20is%20a%20non%2Dpredatory%20and,quality%20control%20measures%20in%20place.%20Publication%20Details. This findrightjournal is a highly suspicious website:

-They claim that they check that the journal is in at least two scholarly databases https://findrightjournal.com/checklist How is it possible that Boston Research Journals is a trusted publisher?

-They claim to be active since 2019 https://findrightjournal.com/about while the website is registered since April this year…

I think that this fake website is generated solely for the purpose to add Boston Research Journals between trusted publishers (Boston Research Journals trust score 81 and De Gruyter trust score 75 which is of course ridiculous and cannot be taken seriously).

Back to this ‘publisher’. I get a London Press/Great Brittan Journal Press ‘vibe’ (which is a predatory publisher) when I compare https://journalspress.com with https://bostonresearch.org

I see, not even looking at the content:

-Including a world famous picture on their site https://www.slideserve.com/oya/5th-solvay-conference-brussels-23-29-october-1927#google_vignette with an epic collection of scientists. Why? To create the suggestion of credibility?

-Including the skyline of Boston https://bostonresearch.org/partnerships-boston-research-journals/ which you can admire when you are standing in front of MIT Cambridge and look the other way around. Again why? Siggestion some link with Harvard and MIT?

-Indeed the logos British Library and University of Oxford at https://bostonresearch.org are misleading and pointless if you try to suggest you are Cambridge (USA) oriented (or is AI confused and ‘thought’ about Cambridge UK?)

-Comparing for example https://bostonresearch.org/brjmp-medical-pharma/ and https://medicalresearchjournal.org/index.php/GJMR I get a ‘vibe’ of yet another predatory publisher.

So, I agree: personally I would avoid this one.

Best regards.

Rob Keller Thanks, that detail in your message above is good to point out too - as the link does indeed seem to exist purely to make 'Boston Research Journals' appear genuine. These fakers are becoming more inventive. It is so important to check everything nowadays.
