Dear Ahmad Alsuwaidi

The conference is most likely a predatory one. The conference info (on the right) https://globalcatalysiscongress.com/venue/ mentions Biocore a publisher mentioned in the Beall’s list https://beallslist.net (their website is not existing anymore, the same as you click on Biocore journals at the conference website).

-Biocore is also mentioned here https://www.evscienceconsultant.com/blog/predatory-meetings-and-how-to-avoid-them

-Contact info renders no real office in London, most likely fake

-See also http://flakyj.blogspot.com/2018/05/biocore.html

-Looking in detail at the conference info https://globalcatalysiscongress.com/speakers/ I found that the first four speakers are experts in vaccines which has nothing to do with the scope of this conference (I am almost 100% sure that these people are not aware that they are mentioned here)

-Etc.

I think it is not so much a fake conference (I think it will actually take place) but the scientific relevance is questionable. These people focus on making money and are not interested in serving science.

Personally, I would avoid this one.

Frontiers in chemistry https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/chemistry is a legit and genuine journal. The publisher Frontiers Media S.A. https://www.frontiersin.org is a publisher fully dedicated to open access publishing and because of this to some suspect. Personally, a disagree but see for opinions about this publisher for example

In general, it is always good to ‘diversify’ the journals you publish in but having a publication in a journal like Frontiers in Chemistry is a nice addition in everyone’s CV.

Best regards.
