I tried searching for the journal's name on the list of predatory journals but I find it hard to find it and the list is very long. Thank you for answering my question.
Dear Noel Munda ,
The journal “International Journal of Science Annals” is relatively new. So, inclusion in either a blacklist or whitelist is because of this unlikely. However, I see some good signs for this journal:
-Member of DOAJ https://doaj.org/
-Free of charge
-Papers have received and acceptance info and DOI is legit (and working)
-Decent editing of the papers
The only red flag or at least negative thing I see is:
-Indexing info (https://ijsa.culturehealth.org/index.php/en/home/indexing) contains (besides good things like DOAJ) a number of so-called misleading metrics like Cosmos factor, DRJI which they should get rid off
But then again looking at for example https://ijes.world/en/magazine-information/creation-history where one can conclude that the people behind this journal/initiative are around for already quite some time, I don’t see indications that this might be a predatory journal.
Best regards.
