Recently I have received an invitation from "Horizon Journals" (http://aksjournals.com/about.php) who are in a process of recruiting reviewers... Now in another letter they ask for a "proof of scientific degree" and point to some "suitable" verification service (worth 70 USD) called "Egghead Verification Services" (http://eggheadverificationservices.info). All this sounds dubious, don't you think?
Do you think it can be a legitimate service? Have you heard of "Horizon Journals"? Do you know about other similar cases?
In summary: What do you think about increasing the credibility of publishing scientific articles globally?
No journal ever asks for you to prove your degrees. Your university E-mail address and the quality of your paper suffice as evidence.
PS egghead is based in Nigeria.
Hi,
Better to publish with reputable journals listed on SJR (https://www.scimagojr.com)
