This journal is good. In fact i have published one article in SCI index journal of IGI-Global. Journal name is- International Journal of Semantic Web and Information System (IJSWIS).
IGI Global is a very unprofessional and exploitative publisher. They don’t have the good ethics of scientific research publishing. Based on my experience in two times that I submitted to them, I decided never to submit any paper to any of their journals or books again. In the first time, I submitted a paper to an IGI Global journal. The paper was reviewed by only one reviewer, and his or her decision was to reject without stating any convincing or clear reasons. The editor rejected the paper without providing any comments or reasons. In the second time, I submitted a book chapter which was reviewed by three reviewers, and all three replied with very minor revisions and gave all their score 7 and 8 out of 8. The two editors of the book then rejected the chapter after four months saying that “It is not fit to the scope of the book”. I sent objection emails to the book development and to the editors without getting any reply. It is very annoying to have such bad publishers deceiving researchers with their statements that they do correct peer reviewing and publishing. My advice to all fellow researchers: submit your papers only to well-known publishers that you trust.
Some of their published books and journals are very good and some aren't that good, it depends largely on the editorial teams. Overall, IGI Global is a good standard publisher.
It is always better to publish with the most famous publishers (IEEE, ELESVIER, SPRINGER, WILEY, TAYLOR AND FRANCIS, ...). But, you have not the possibility to with these publishers, you can choose an average publisher as IGI GLOBAL
Dr. Neelamadhab Padhy indexing itself denotes the quality. If a particular journal of IGI Global is indexed then that particular journal is itself equivalent to other reputed journal publishers of same indexing. However, see its status such has from how long the particular journal remain in indexing etc. before choosing.
I have published a book chapter with them so far and did not see anything unusual. It is all about the editorial team you select to publish your work with ...
I hope its a great scope because it indexed in Scopus..... Author/contributor have get hard copy and softcopy too... Demerit is not able to access full text without payment. Dr. Neelamadhab Padhy
I am frustrated that many of you make claims about the publisher but do not provide any evidence one way or the other. This company has been considered a vanity or predatory publisher, but you can help the discussion with details. If you published with them, please provide a link to the book or article (journal or chapter) so that the rest of us can get an idea of the quality or lack of it. What I have seen so far is books that we cannot access (worthless to science or academia if none of us can read it with paying huge sums of money) or articles that are so bad that even their titles did not make sense. Not a publisher I would trust or want to deal with. If you think differently, please give evidence and reasons, and links where we can actually read and judge for ourselves.
If you really want to pay for a book, I recommend the vanity publishers which will cost a lot less and can include many copies (you can distribute). You should make sure you arrange GOOD editors before doing this.
