I searched on the Beall's list and it does not appear, however, my concern is its association with Index Copernicus International. How will publishing with them affect my academic profile?
Dear Mampete Jemina Mookeng
When it comes to the journal “Social Science and Humanities Journal” ISSN: 2456-2653 https://sshjournal.com/index.php/sshj I see numerous red flags:
-The prominently mentioned impact factor is in fact https://sjifactor.com/passport.php?id=20208 (an example of a misleading metric https://beallslist.net/misleading-metrics/ )
-The same is true for Advanced Sciences Index mentioned on their homepage (on the right side)
-The publisher behind the journal calls itself “Everant journal” “Everant” is mentioned in the Beall’s list (of publishers) https://beallslist.net
I suspect that Everant journals https://www.everant.org and Everant Publishers Pvt Ltd https://everant.in are one and the same. They use the same logo (see enclosed Fig.) see for example https://everant.in/index.php/mcsj and https://www.everant.org
In conclusion I would personally avoid this one.
Best regards.
Thank you so much Rob. I am taking your advise.
Kind regards
Jemina
