Dear community,
Can anyone inform if "advanced research in gastroenterology & hepatology" is considered as predatory journal ? according to our findings, the publisher "Juniper" is considered as such.
Please advice,
Thank you
To Ahlem sarah Moulay Brahim: Juniper Publishers is mentioned in the Beall's list: https://beallslist.net/
Dear Ahlem sarah Moulay Brahim ,
As indicated by Anton Vrdoljak and yourself the publisher behind the journal is mentioned in the Beall’s list. As by ‘definition’ and I quote: “All journals published by a predatory publisher are potentially predatory unless stated otherwise” (see https://beallslist.net/ ). Mentioned in the Beall’s list is a red flag but there are more:
-Prominently mentioning PubMed indexed papers is misleadingly suggesting a ‘real’ PubMed indexing but the mentioned indexing is because of NIH funding of one or more of the authors and has nothing to do with the journal(s).
-http://flakyj.blogspot.com/search/label/Juniper
-Contact info suggests nice residences but no real(istic) office address
-Journal shows numerous misleading metrics (https://beallslist.net/misleading-metrics/) on their indexing site https://juniperpublishers.com/member-in.php like DRJI and Citefactor
-Prominently mentioned (https://juniperpublishers.com/argh/) impact factor is fake
I would say avoid this one.
Best regards.
