Dear Khritish Swargiary I can almost copy past my reply I posted on your other question here on RG https://www.researchgate.net/post/Is_this_journal_genuinely_indexed_in_scopus Update 5-6-2024: In the meantime discontinued in Scopus.

Warning! I suspect that this journal “Educational Administration: Theory and Practice” 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 that the publisher Auricle is discussed not positively here on RG. See for example https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_to_solve_Problem_with_publisher and https://www.researchgate.net/post/Journal_of_Advanced_Zoology_ISSN_0253-7214_is_this_journal_hijacked

-Also disturbing, the sudden increase in accepted and published papers since 2023 as evident when clicking on “Scopus content coverage” here https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/21100943319

-Publisher changed according to https://kuey.net/index.php/kuey/announcement while Scopus and SCImago mention (still) Auricle and is nonsense since for example in Januari 2022 it still was Auricle see for example https://kuey.net/index.php/kuey/article/view/398/193

-There are quite some disturbing comments on SCImago https://www.scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php?q=21100943319&tip=sid&exact=no

-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) and an explosion of the number of accepted and published papers https://kuey.net/index.php/kuey/issue/view/56

Looking at the explosion of published papers already now in 2024 it is not difficult to predict that this journal will be discontinued from Scopus pretty soon.

Best regards.
