There is indeed something going on here when it comes to this journal “Journal of Applied Bioanalysis”. It used to be published by “Betasciencepress Publishing”

https://betasciencepress-publishing.com/journals/journal-of-applied-bioanalysis/ (no longer functional). I see disturbing facts:

-ISSN 2405-710X is just recently linked to a new ‘owner’ https://portal.issn.org/resource/ISSN/2405-710X (compare this with another journal they (used to?) publish https://portal.issn.org/resource/ISSN/2589-1677

There is this website I suspect to be fake/hijacked https:/journalofappliedbioanalysis.com/index.php/jab because:

-Like in most of these cases the contact info is basically missing https://journalofappliedbioanalysis.com/index.php/jab/about/contact

-Editorial board looks suspicious https://journalofappliedbioanalysis.com/index.php/jab/about/editorialTeam for example the info about Rob J. Vreeken, PhD is outdated and I am pretty sure he is not aware he is mentioned here. Furthermore they no longer seems to be linked to the previous publisher Betascience…

-The about info https://journalofappliedbioanalysis.com/index.php/jab/about does not mention a change in ownership and for example the DOAJ membership claim is fake

-Compare here https://journalofappliedbioanalysis.com/index.php/jab/issue/view/16 2023 for example and 2024 and you see the mentioning of the (former) publisher is now gone

Looking at the Scopus content coverage https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/21101122745 and you see they received hardly any submissions. I think the journal is hijacked because the former publisher is no longer active (broke? Or lacking the manpower willing to continue with something that does not seem to be viable).

Personally I would not trust this one.

Best regards.

PS. Another journal seems no longer active due to insufficient submissions “Reviews in Separation Sciences” https://betasciencepress-publishing.com/journals/reviews-in-separation-sciences/ another sign that the original publisher is no longer active.
