Dear Abhay Eknath Patil

Cloned is not the right word since this would imply that there is a legit version of this journal “International Journal of Scientific Research in Engineering and Management”. I am afraid that this is an example of a predatory journal. There are numerous red flags:

-First of all, the prominently mentioned UGC-CARE is false. They are not listed as can be checked here https://ugccare.unipune.ac.in/apps1/home/index

-The prominently mentioned impact factor (https://ijsrem.com ) is at least misleading since they are not indexed in one of Clarivate’s indexes which can be checked here https://mjl.clarivate.com/home

-Even stronger the SJIF factor is a notorious example of a so-called misleading metric (https://beallslist.net/misleading-metrics/ ) often used by predatory journals/publishers

-The same is true for I2OR and CiteFactor

-Disclaimar [sic] on the home page https://ijsrem.com and Copyright Infragmentation…

-Suspect that most of the names are either fake or they are not aware of the fact that they are listed here, see for example John K Atkinson (he must be round 75+ now)

-Looking at for example https://ijsrem.com/volume07issue07july2023/ I see a suspiciously large list of papers (hard to imagin how they manage this in terms of proper peer review etc.)

-The only good thing I can see is that the DOI assigned to the individual papers seems functional

All and all I personally would avoid this one.

Best regards.
