Very Good Day.
I am experiencing in recent days a new issue of Indexing Status of many Journals. When I submit Journal was Scopus. I have confirmed through multiple ways. Nevertheless, when the article publishes and online, the Journal loose Scopus Status.
This is real embarrassing and potential loss for the authors. Many authors are bound by rules and regulations of their University. In Malaysia University will not cater or count credit if the journal is not SCOPUS.
By the way to best of my knowledge Journal editor suppose to get a warning letter that they are going to loose their Scopus status. Nonetheless, they hide the news. Although at least one editor told me that they going loose their Scopus status.
Furthermore, many Journals took ages from submission to first response and to appear online it may take more than a year. I am not talking about very high impact journals. These are only SCOPUS / Emerging Sources Citation Index (Web of Science). I have checked even many of them do not have a huge amount of submission. So how authors will ensure this is a SCOPUS index journal?
Additionally, also experience that one Journal charge US$100 for submission. I have submitted 4 months. No progress.
Hope authors right will protected soon in near future.
All Best
Kindest Regards
