I have heard as good as bad commentaries about this scientific publisher. In my case, I feel that the generalized perception is that this publisher is predatory. Can anyone tell me any experience (good or bad) with this publisher?. Your comments can help me to decide if I publish with this group.
I did hear francis and taylor were predatory, but what I don't know if it is in the list of predatory journals

Do you cite one example that any J.after acceptance of APC will reject a manuscript ? . Yes majour revisions may be suggested .
Never heard that Taylor and Francis are predatory publisher. It's a good publication house having good journals.
No Simon Roa
Taylor and Francis is definitely not a predatory publisher. It is a reputable international publisher which publishes hundreds of journals and thousands of books. They publish and host some of the top-cited journals in different scientific fields. So feel free to publish in a journal published by Taylor and Francis.
No..

Taylor and Francis is one of the best and most appreciated publishers in the world. Many high level researchers are publishing in journals of T & F. So I agree with Farooq Azam Rathore and Mahesh Kumar and many others that Taylor and Francis is definitely not a predatory publisher.
Dear Simon Roa ,
Indeed ‘bad’ commentaries can be found since there used to be some issues with Taylor & Francis see ‘Controversies’ for some examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_%26_Francis They acquired Dove Medical Press in 2017, a company that use to have a bad reputation resulted in being included on Beall's list of predatory open access publishers but was later removed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dove_Medical_Press).
Having said this, it is one of the oldest publishing houses in science. Nowadays well-reputed ‘brands’ like CRC and Routledge are part of their portfolio. With excellent and high-quality journals like "Advances in Physics", “Cell Cycle”, “Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology”, “Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition” this publisher has nothing to do with being predatory.
Best regards.

T & F are i highly reputable publisher and provide some very good scientific publications in my subject matter fields. Many of the well known scientists in my field publish with them.
I have published a number of book chapters with them. Good publisher!
Dear Dr. Simón Roa,
Personally, I consider that one must always distrust Magazines that request money from the author of the Article or Contribution to publish it.
Taylor and Francis is a reputable publisher and for your knowledge even Nature has published fabricated articles and retracted them later.
T&F is highly reputable. I have published there several times without having to pay any. One of my Covid papers published in T&F was given open access for free. :)
Hi Simon Roa
I have had a similar experience to Michael Sy and have published some articles with T&F and had no charges. I wonder if some journals with that group require APC and some other journals (also with that publisher) do not...?
Hi Joseph C Lee I am not sure but there are journals within T&F that only publishes papers with APC. I may be wrong.
Hi Simon Roa , I have recently published an article at Taylor & Francis (TnF) and I do not consider them in any way predatory.
The published article underwent 2 major revisions before acceptance, the manuscript editing department did outstanding work to my submission and prior/upon acceptance no fees or APCs whatsoever were requested.
Lastly, I know many researchers who had published at TnF and other of its well-known Imprints such as Routledge/CNC press, and there are no signs of predatory publishing.

P.S. is there a specific reason why you think they may be predatory? We are talking about one of the "big" publishing houses out there, founded in 1852, it is not a new kid in town ...
They are definitely not predatory. though am yet to publish an article with them but i had an experience of reviewing for one of their journals.
It is on of the best publisher WorldWide. Recently I published an article with major revision in a Journal within that publisher.
