Dear all
I wanted to know if it is credible to publish a research work in a journal led by science alert platform. I was wondering if you woud give me more details. Truly, I searched about it, but still I am dubious.
Thanks a million in advance
Dear Isa Bandak ,
There are multiple sites that are using the name “Science Alert” (www.scialert.net and www.scialert.com ) and another “Science Alert” site (www.sciencealert.com ). I presume you mean the first one. There are multiple red flags:
-They are mentioned in the Beall’s list (https://beallslist.net ) and if click on the name you end up here https://scialert.net/index.php
-For numerous disturbing issues see for example here http://flakyj.blogspot.com/search/label/Science%20Alert
-Of all their 119 (!) journals only three were indexed in Scopus. They are all discontinued https://www.scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php?q=science+alert
-Not looked into the individual journals but pretty sure that more issues can be found
So, personally I would say: avoid.
Best regards.
