Dolos list which can be found here is a great initiative:

It lists predatory, parasitic, or pseudoscientific publishers and journals

Great Work done Cornelia Brantner

Thank you Faisal

Many Thanks

Thank you for the information. Is this predatory journal or not, i didn't find in your list http://nebio.in/

This is not predator Journal but is less indexed: You can see the publisher that is North East Centre for Environmental Education (NECEER) found in this link http://nebio.in/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/NeBIO_March_2019.jpg

Is International Journal of Engineering Research and Technology (IJERT) with ISSN : 09743154 a predatory journal?

I see most of the journals listed as less indexed journals rather than say they are predatory ones. What framework did the person use in coming out with this results?

So, what list of journals will you classify as good journals, and what would be your bases for such classification?

File not opening

Thanks for sharing this information. It is very timely and informative.

Some valuable information are available at:

Best,

Thanks for this information

thanks for the update. may i know if http://www.nagc.org/resources-publications/nagc-publications is a predatory publisher?

CAN YOU PROVIDE NAMES OF LANGUAGE EDUCATION JOURNALS WHICH ARE NOT PREDATORY?

What makes a journal "predatory". If the work is good it should not matter which journal it is published in?

Some basic criteria you can find here Rick Manner:

https://predatoryjournals.com/about/

Anton Vrdoljak

The criteria given in your link certainly appear to be good reason to avoid "predatory" journals. My concern is that honest journals that are not mainstream because they are new or occasionally have an unpopular point of or are view can be lumped into the "predatory" or at least "biased" journal. Do you consider "Hydrocarbon Processing" and "The Oil and Gas Journal" to be legitimate journals?

Useful discussion.

I am not an expert for gas nor for oil, so can not tell smth valuable about above journals... My opinion is that for many journals, especially for so called "fresh" journals, the path to popular or good reputation is not an easy task, it is rather slow proces...

Anton Vrdoljak :

The "Oil and Gas Journal" is a very good resource for valuable information about Oil Refining and Production. But they have a biased pro fossil fuels point of view. It is a great place to look for information about various crude qualities and processing options and they will occasionally throw in a socially responsible article about conservation, cogeneration and alternate fuels. Most of their readers are members of the oil production, refining and/or marketing community. As a result their articles tend to be biased in favor of fossil fuels.

Is ACADEMIA JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH a predatory journal?

please send me the list of those predatory journals. i will be very grateful since am just about to publish my work.

Timothy gichuki Kabue visit:

for a list of possibly predatory journals...

The list of predatory journals here should be updated with the current list published only yesterday 12th September, 2019 by Jeffrey Beall and which contains by far fewer journals than are in the list by Faisal Khalil.

In addition to Oludare Ajewole comment, here is Beall's List of Predatory Journals and Publishers (Last updated September 12, 2019): https://beallslist.weebly.com/

How about international journal of biosciences?Does it hasreputationu

Merci

Do you know ISSN for that journal Gafar Babatunde?

This is it. 2220-6655 Anton Vrdoljak

Thnx, I asked because RG database contains a journal with similar name:

https://www.researchgate.net/journal/1449-2288_International_journal_of_biological_sciences

but as you can see, that journal has different ISSN... My final remark: it seems that international journal of biosciences (ISSN 2220-6655) is not in RG database, nor in Clarivate Analytics InCites Journal Citation Reports for 2018 year. Nothing more I can add about that journal...

How does one identify these predatory journals? I have seen a journal that is Sc opus indexed and exactly the same Journal appearing on the list of predatory journals. Can't the fake publishers be disciplined ? Also the true publishers should not be holding researchers' work for too long before responding to them.

Grace Nyereugwu Ofoegbu, some of criteria for determining predatory publishers you will find on website (Beall's List of Predatory Journals and Publishers):

Thank you Mr Anton.

Thank you for your information

Thank you very much for shearing but is IJCAR predatory journal, kindly I need the answer

Dear Faisal Khalil ,

Your list is a valuable source but as stated by others it might be better to follow the (claimed) updated versions of the well-known Beall’s list:

https://beallslist.weebly.com/

https://predatoryjournals.com/journals/

The answer to the question of Gafar Babatunde is:

The journal “International Journal of Biosciences”:

https://innspub.net/journal/international-journal-of-biosciences-ijb/

is published by International Network for Natural Sciences (INNSPUB):

https://innspub.net/

which is mentioned in the publishers version of the Beall’s list:

https://beallslist.weebly.com/

They seem to be really covered by the Clarivate Web of Science (Zoological Record) which is an indication of some credibility. However their claimed indexing in services like DOAJ and Scopus:

https://innspub.net/innspub-abstracting-indexing/

is something that presumably use to be the case but currently is not the case.

In conclusion: at the very best this journal/publisher is borderline.

The answer to the question of Eugene Mazimpaka is:

The journal “International Journal of Contemporary Applied Researches” (IJCAR):

http://www.ijcar.net/

Is mentioned in the stand-alone version of the Beall’s list: (although the link is dead)

https://beallslist.weebly.com/standalone-journals.html

Other red flags are:

-The prominently mentioned Journal Impact Factor (IF): 6.930 is (of course) false and fully unverifiable.

-The mentioned indexed Universal Impact Factor (UIF), Global Impact Factor (GIF), CiteFactor are false or at least misleading metrics:

https://predatoryjournals.com/metrics/

-The remarks like “ISI Web of Knowledge (Thomson Reuter) – Request Pending” and “Science Direct (Scopus) – Request Pending” are meaningless and misleading.

-Though not extremely important but the word “researches” in the title is to say the least strange.

In conclusion: this seems to be a predatory journal that you better can avoid.

Hope this info is helpful.

Best regards.

Thank you for thus useful information

I was meaning international journal of current advanced research (IJCAR).

Dear Eugene Mazimpaka ,

I see, well the journal “International Journal of Current Advanced Research” is mentioned in the stand-alone journal version of the Beall’s list:

https://beallslist.weebly.com/standalone-journals.html

Additionally a familiar story when it comes to red flags:

-The mentioned impact factor Scientific Journal Impact Factor is fake:

https://predatoryjournals.com/metrics/

-The Thomson Reuter researchers ID is, as said in my earlier reply, a nonsense and at least a misleading ‘feature’. The Researcher ID is meant for individual researchers and has nothing to do with journal quality and so on.

-False suggestion of a PubMed indexation.

-DOI for papers is not genuine.

So altogether this journal shows a substantial number of characteristics of a predatory journal.

Best regards.

Thank you very much for this professional immediately answer.
