The question of predatory journals is very topical and new researchers are at the mercy of such journals. I was thinking of sharing information on authentic journals so that we can enlighten our other new researchers so that they can be informed and make right choices when it comes to issues of publishing their research articles.

These are just some of the authentic journals that I have worked with and they are very authentic.
Can others add the journals they are accustomed to .
I have tried to avoid predatory journals. I only publish in High Earn journals.

Thanks for sharing these authentic journals. Indeed, young researchers must constantly be cautious of the mass breed of predatory journals. They must check the status of the journal before having any dealings with them.
Mostly, spam journal invitations are not trustworthy.
Check the institutional website of the members of the Editorial Board and read about their qualifications and verify their institutional affiliations.
Many of the predatory journals also post grand metrics of their impact factors.
A good awareness you are creating so that researchers to avoid such journals.
Thanks very much to the following fellow researchers for your comments.

May be lets share our authentic journals that we have worked with. There is always a temptation to quickly publish for young researchers especially if they are chasing tenure. At one time I also fell victim to these predatory journals.
I think that SJR, Scopus, and such indices are satisfying for a journal to be authentic, aren't they ?
The list of journal publisher you gave is very authentic; thank you for sharing.
The main reason young researchers make their articles openly accessible is to maximize their research impact. They should try to avoid predatory journals. They must only publish in High Earn journals.
I think that Springer also authentic journals

Academic journals require one or more revenue streams to cover their costs and turn a profit. There are three basic sources of revenue to which a publisher can turn: (1) publication fees, (2) sponsor support, and (3) subscription charges. Publishers regularly employ each of these sources, sometimes in combination.

Not all open access journals are Spam journals. There are several criteria to consider when selecting a journal :
1- is it indexed? where?
2- Does it have an impact factor?
3- what is the time required to review a paper? how many reviewers are assigned to each manuscript?
4- What is the rate of acceptance and rejection?
some open access journals rate of acceptance is 100 % and they are commercial one. But, being commercial is not a negative aspect.
Thanks guys for your contributions to this hot topic.
Mohammad Al-Qudah the Springer link is very authentic thanks.
M. Awad , Rzger A. Abdula , Harry Barton Essel and Mohannad Husain Al-Sherrawi thanks for your insights. There is no substitute for experience and sharing that experience is the ultimate thing.
Thanks very much to everyone for taking your valuable precious time to read this and for sharing your knowledge.
I agree with Dr. Murad. High quality research requires enough funding and comfortable environment. The only way to improve research in developing countries is to carry research abroad in developed countries. Because most scientists in the developed world tend to publish in well known refereed, high impact , and indexed journals.
