MSW Management Journal is hijacked. The fake website is https://mswmanagementj.com/index.php/home/index There are numerous red flags:

-Look at for example https://mswmanagementj.com/index.php/home/issue/view/8 and see that there are countless unrelated papers ‘published’ in the field of art, education, energy/engine and health science

-Also, the number of papers does not fit the moderate number of papers according to Scopus https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/5300152536 just click on Scopus content coverage and see that with these fraudsters they publish more in one issue than what the legit one publish in one year

-According to SCImago https://www.scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php?q=5300152536&tip=sid&clean=0 the real publisher used to be Forester Communication Inc. (also named Forester Media Inc.) if you click on the homepage link on the SCImago page you are redirected to https://www.wastetodaymagazine.com/?r=1

-The pop-up message indicate that there is a new owner. Indeed they are/used to be linked to SWANA https://swana.org/news/safety-news and they published in MSW Management (scroll down to the bottom of the page) if you click on it then you are redirected to the same waste today website.

-Looking at the fake website there are the ‘usual’ issues with a hijacked version:

Older issues are not accessible (if you click on a pdf you need to enter a password…)

Contact info is nothing but a Gmail address

Editorial team is most likely fake (and lacking info about the members) and is way too small to handle the huge number of manuscripts

Last but not least they make use of a logo I’ve never seen before (it misleadingly mimics the WoS logo, see figures enclosed).

Again, a sad example of deception.
