I have heard that many predatory/fake groups organize international conferences and Magnus is one of them if anyone has previous experience of it. please share.
should I go to attend the conference or not??
Dear Ayushi Mishra ,
It depends on your expectations. If you consider it legit when it actually takes place, then I guess it is. If you expect a high-quality meeting with interesting experts and fellow researchers active in the same field, then I am afraid you will be disappointed. The following red flags can be found:
-On a site about predatory conferences https://www.evscienceconsultant.com/blog/predatory-meetings-and-how-to-avoid-them (they are mentioned as Magnus Group)
-See also the reply of Baruh Polis here on RG https://www.researchgate.net/post/Hi-everyone-Please-anybody-can-tell-me-about-Magnus-Corpus-conference-Is-it-a-genuine-or-fake-conference-organizer
-If you Google the contact info 150 South Wacker Drive #2400 Chicago, IL 60606, USA mentioned on their homepage https://www.magnusgroup.org it appears to be a virtual address (in other words why hide your true origin?)
-I think that some of their collaborators (sponsors) are fake, for example this “+ Medex” has no online presence…
Personally, I would avoid this one.
Best regards.
