I frequently see the advertisement while accessing my gmail account 'Publish your article within 3 days' what do you think about such a journal?
Dear Marpha Telepova-Texier , I am confused why you have used the term excellent?
I consider it as impossible to get at least two peer reviews, and apply the necessary review and/or corrections, within three days. In any case, a three days timespan should not be promised to authors. Therefore, a journal publishing within three days cannot meet the minimum ethical standards expected for scientific publications.
Such journal can publish your paper within few hours, if you will transfer required sum of money to its account with submission of the manuscript. So, no review, no revision, no proofreading, direct uploading of paper on journal website.
Dear Hom Nath Chalise,
This is not correct Journal, as you question is not serious, but RIGOLO
Best regards
As Dr Arvind Singh has pointed, such article should be discouraged by University. Such academic person are really responsible to lower the quality of university. No idea, who and how such activities should be discouraged.
I don't prefer it for my article submission. They only want to gain money. The science is not significant for them. I think so that, capitalism is this.
The thing is to have pertinent remarks on your work! That's the "job" of the reviewers. If genuine and sensefull remarks can be provided in a few days, that would be OK.. but, I doubt that it is possible to find right persons to evaluate a work can :
1.be found in a few days
2. have time to write a proper and argumentated review in a few days
In other words, analyses of both ideas and results may require time and several readings... I do not doubt that such excellent, I mean able to do it in a few days, reviewers exist, but ... they have too their own research to conduct
Usually such journals send you also the impact factor. Check the impact factor on web of science. Mostly, you will not find such journals indexed by web of science. If so, avoid sending your work for them.
Everything became marketing. People no longer choose ways to get money. I must say this: people from the poorer lands in which Serbia belongs ... they often have only the opportunity to publish something abroad!
Obviously not a peer-reviewed journal and you can be sure that the impact factor that it might claim to have is false.
Any manuscript send to such a journal is a lost step in your effort to build a scientific career. Delete the add and move on!
I want to be honest. To many of us, this is the only opportunity to publish work abroad. The prices for publication in good magazines are for many astronomers. The institutions in which they do not want to fund it! You want me to ask the question how many of our salaries are in different countries. Some of us would be shocked !!!
The disclosure of scientific journals is not easy and it is necessary to examine, research and question before publishing our research ... Quick approval of publication of research submitted without arbitration or respect the quality of publication (the period from the date of submission of the research and until the publication for only three days), Leads to the dissemination of deceptive and meaningless research, and is interested in the collection of funds, both under the name of the costs of publication or request copies (copies of Reprints) of published research.
It does not even deserve to be called a journal.
However, some novice researchers still submit their works to such predatory journals.
These are predatory journals with no peer review (eventhough they claim there is peer review and boast of an inflated IF). They are only interested in your money.
I think to consider very closely to publish in such journals, a proper manuscript to be accepted for publication has to subjected for peer-reviewed system. Regarding
publication fees, I think there are some journals that would not take any charges !!
This is called investment and trade in scientific research as in some private universities,
I think this magazine is simple and has a weak impact factor
The entire purpose of publishing your research in a scientific journal is so that it can be read and cited by your peers. The more it is read and cited, the higher the impact of your work. So why would you want to publish in a non-peer reviewed journal that nobody has heard of and nobody reads, so nobody will cite the papers therein?
I think there is no peer review no corrections, no back and forth revesions , this is a money making machine nothing more. Avoid such Journals.
What is troubling is that many researchers, mostly from Low-and-Middle-Income Countries fall for this type of journals. I wouldn't advice anyone to publish in such journals. Have you ever thought of publishing your work and never want to see it or cite it yourself? That is what will happen. Keep clear. Steer away from them!
I would not submit my manuscript for this type of journal. They are not interested in good science, but money.
Dear colleagues, thank you so much for the wonderful response. I Encountered with some such journals, and found some of my friends published on such a journal paying $100 + just to get promoted in the University. What a hell, Promotion is bought by money not by quality.
I am sharing here the email I have received, Quality publication in three working days.
Anybody should not submit any article in any journal without peer review facility ..If once such article is published, we may not learn the important points in article writing during rest of our life.
This kind of journal is fake. just for money, Predatory journal
I gave an earlier answer to this question. I repeat, one of our colleagues has no better choice ... One of my colleagues sent me two letters to help him publish it. We do not have all the same opportunities. Can you understand this? I'm not talking about professional ethics here !?
Submit, review, revise, publish ..., all in 3 days?
A Predatory journal.
This is not a reliable Journal. When do they review your work ? Better sent it to other journal.
Predatory, half-predatory, discret-predatory, small predatory - who knows, where truth is about journals and publishers? Think simply - this is only false mirror of famous idea "'publish or perish" and free liberal market in publishing. Largest predators collects millions of publications taken from authors for free and reviewed by voluntary reviewers for free - to sell them as ""pay for one download" for 50$ or higher. It makes upper level of scientifical quality, recognized by adequate impact factors. Smaller predators living in the background, limited by lacking or low impact factors, attracts us by maximally short time of publishing and open access with relatively lower paying. But, if you want to know more about predatory behavior - compare the price for open access possibility in top-ranked journals and these non-ranked. The game is not about, how to open more science to community, the game is about, how to make more money from science (eg. how to sell more scientifical production). This is a result of strong competition between publishers on free market. This is reason for increasing like avalanche numbers of publications (in greatest part being a informative noise). You probably know, that according latest marketing theories - ethical behavior is a limiting factor in effective marketing? So, we have the mirror... Is very interesting, why governments and global international organizations are so inactive in breaking barriers in global open acces to science, in situation, when community is main sponsor of scientifical acitivity. And why, common access to science must be guarded by market players.
I think it is important to remember that even though the peer-review process takes time, it is a great way to improve your paper. Skipping this step not only missed this opportunity it will lead to a paper that you put a lot of work into that is not recognized or referenced. You are selling yourself short if you choose the easy way to being “published” ... which is actually a questionable use of the word.
A Predatory journal and Conference also. This is my opinion Dr
They are predatory journals. We can't have confidence in these type of publications.
Even if all these are predatory journals, many scientists, professors are also communicating their valuable research outputs to these journals. These kind of journals also able to accumulate sizable number of articles to grow and continue their businesses....
These are predatory journals - they kill off the good and well-intended spirit of quality research outputs. Both researchers and journals have a moral obligation to adequately invest time and other resources in upholding knowledge quality. Such an investment is a time-consuming process and must not be done in a 3-day period. A high quality publication is a pride for all.
Really 3 days and can you guarantee good editorial work. I guess not
Such a journal is a predatory journal with no peer review and ghost editors. Moreover the publication charges will be very high. Such email address should be blocked.
I always delete these emails because I think that these journals are usually for money.
This kind of journals are up to no good, they are mostly after money, they publish very low quality articles, without proper editorial processing, this is one of the major reasons we find a lot of poor research paper nowadays.
if you really need sincere advise, kindly block and delete them.
These are Predatory journals and the characteristics Complaints that are associated with predatory open-access publishing include:
- Accepting articles quickly with little or no peer review or quality control, including hoax and nonsensical papers.
- Notifying academics of article fees only after papers are accepted.
- Aggressively campaigning for academics to submit articles or serve on editorial boards.
- Listing academics as members of editorial boards without their permission, and not allowing academics to resign from editorial boards.
- Appointing fake academics to editorial boards.
- Mimicking the name or web site style of more established journals.[
- Making misleading claims about the publishing operation, such as a false location.
- Using ISSNs improperly.
- Citing fake or non-existent impact factors.
I do agree Ashwan Abdulmunem. Even, we do not know when they are going to stop their homepage. So it just the wasting of energy and money. In return you will get only stress. But nowadays these predatory journals are attracting the attention of young researchers who wanted to early publish their work.
Not a good journal for researchers, but good for Master Leve students.
Quality wise not good. However, in case of urgently needed papers it can come as a rescue.
I my view, this kind of advertisements are ridiculous. Furthermore, as other RG colleagues mentioned, because of the existence of some fake journals, researchers should be careful when they are trying to find a convenient journal to submit their research results.
3 years ago, I asked a question in RG forum, and received more than 380 prolific answers. I want to share it here, and hope it could be useful for young-researchers.
"How can a new researcher find an appropriate journal to submit his/her article?
Which journals are in BLACKLIST?Please explain about 5-year impact, current impact factor, paid access and classification of journals."

It is a predatory journal.
No journal can possible complete the peer review process in 3 days. (It takes me about 3 days to respond to an editor’s request to review a manuscript –never mind actually reviewing the manuscript.)
Derek Pyne is 100% right.
Firstly, no one will ever read your work or take you seriously. Also, many funding bodies will not recognise your publications (making it more difficult to apply for grants). Whatever you have submit to such a journal is 100% wasted effort.
In fact, it is actually better not to publish at all instead of submitting your work to predatory journal: Having a journal published in a predatory journal basically signals to the person evaluating your list of publications that you are either (a) gullible (you have been ‘suckered’ into publishing with a predatory journal) or (b) that you’re doing unimaginative work that cannot get published in a reputable journal and therefore you publish in a predatory journal as it is your only option.
So, do you want your employer or funding body to think that you are either desperate to publish your poor quality work or spectacular naive?
There is no set of circumstance that justify publishing in predatory journals. None.
you should be Check magazine Issn.
But in general, the magazine does not seem to be valid.
