Dear Pyae phyo Aung ,
The publisher behind this website is “International Technology and Science Publications Ltd” and this publisher is mentioned in the updated version of the Beall’s list: https://beallslist.net/#update This a red flag for dealing with a potential predatory publisher (and thereby all their journal).
Other red flags are:
-For example, “Biological Sciences” mentions in their indexing &abstracting section (see http://www.itspoa.com/journal/bs/ ) so-called misleading metrics like Citefactor and SIS. See for more example of these misleading metrics (often used by predatory journals/publishers): https://beallslist.net/misleading-metrics/
-Mentioned doi in several papers I checked seems fake (or at least not the official one)
-See for more (bad) info about this publisher also: http://flakyj.blogspot.com/search/label/ITS
In conclusion. Though the website and journal(s) info look pretty professional, there seems to be too much not okay. Advice: better avoid.
Best regards.
