Revista de Gestão Social e Ambiental
The Scimago Journal Ranking is Q3 with a SJR Ranking of 0.2
Dear Khritish Swargiary and Viswanathan P. Karthiayani Warning! I suspect that this journal “Revista de Gestao Social e Ambiental” is either a hijacked version of the legit journal or (in this case most likely) an example of what used to be a legit journal that turned into a predatory one. I see numerous red flags:
-The most important one is the sudden increase in accepted and published papers since 2023 as evident when clicking on “Scopus content coverage” here https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/21100268407
-Publisher changed (without a proper announcement somewhere) round end of 2022. The same is true for the website(s) which use to be https://rgsa.emnuvens.com.br/rgsa/index and is now all ‘changed’ in https://rgsa.openaccesspublications.org/rgsa
-According to disturbing comments on SCImago the journal is under review by Scopus and most likely will be discontinued soon https://www.scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php?q=21100268407&tip=sid&clean=0
-Looking at the published papers in for example 2024 I see too many fully unrelated papers (in relation to the title and scope of the journal)
-See also here for more disturbing issues https://www.linkedin.com/posts/viktoriia-miroshnichenko-77204a24a_publadvance-scopusjournals-scopus-activity-7118141002279788544-y-yc?trk=public_profile
Not entirely sure what happened here but I think this is no longer a safe choice (when it comes to Scopus indexing etc.).
Best regards.
Rob Keller That's what I see from the scopus page describing the Quartle and SJR of the Journal in context
According to https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/21100268407#tabs=2 they 'published' already 40 times more than 'normal' in 2024 (while we are not even halfway the year).
This title will be discontinued for sure!
Dear Khritish Swargiary
As 'predicted' the journal "Revista de Gestao Social e Ambiental" is per May 2024 discontinued in Scopus (see enclosed file).
Best regards.
