I went through the criteria for the inclusion of journals in your list, and I wonder why some are on the list. Kindly state with precision, why International Journal of Medicine and Biomedical Research is on the list.

    1. There is the regular occurrence of plagiarism among the articles. For example, one of the journal’s articles contains this passage, without any attribution:
    “Variability in CD4+ LCs among healthy HIV seronegative adults has been widely reported and has been attributed to biological, ethnic group influences as well as differences in the methodologies used for T-cell enumeration.”
    That passage originally appeared here:
    http://intl-cvi.asm.org/content/11/5/930.full
    2. Much of the authors’ guidelines is copied from other sites.
    3. The journal has a very broad coverage to attract more author fees, and there are already many journals with a similar coverage — there is no authentic need for this new journal. It’s just being done for the profit.
    4. The journal claims to be indexed is services that are not abstracting and indexing services.
    5. There no indication of the journal’s digital preservation policies.
    6.. There is no indication of the journal’s policies regarding retraction.
    etc.

    Dear Beal, i would like to know about Behaviorists for Social Responsibility, Published by the University of Illinois at Chicago Library, thank you.

    Actually, Behaviorists for Social Responsibility is an organization, and their organ is called Behavior and Social Issues. This journal is not a predatory journal; in fact, it is a respected journal.

        I see the following problems:
        1. Bogus grants program (possibly designed to fool people)
        2. Possible use of fake names
        3. Rapid review: “Fast publication: The average time between submitting a draft to the final publication is less than 30 days” In a different place it says, “Rapid review: The average review cycle is around 15 working days.”
        4. Claims its journals are indexed by services that are not A&I services.
        5. Contact us information includes P.O. boxes for US and UK addresses — likely no physical presence there.
        6. A fleet startup with many journals.
        7. Many grammatical errors on main website pages.
        8. Journals all have broad coverage / titles.
        9. Very few editorial board members from the west despite claiming to be “International”
        10. Licensing data not included on article PDFs.
        11/ APC not prominently stated.

Just out of curiousity, is it safe to say that journal indexed by elsevier or thomson reuters and have an impact factor of more than 0.5 are not predator journal?
I’m submitting my journal to “Indian journal of Applied research” which is under “theglobaljournals.com” and i do not see both the publisher nor the journal is on your list of predatory.

    To your first question, no. There are some journals indexed in Scopus and that have an impact factor that are on my list; the criteria are diffrerent.
    The Global Journals is indeed on my list; it’s filed under G not T.

      In other words, is it OK if I submit a paper in a journal indexed in Scopus but the publisher is listed as predatory publisher? Thank you.
    • Jeffrey Beall says:
      March 18, 2014 at 8:42 PM
      No, not in my opinion. When I add a publisher to my list, I add it for good reasons, and I believe that scholars should not submit papers to journals belonging to publishers on y list.

    Could you please explain why Science Domain is on your list.

    It’s an India-based publisher that pretends to be American and British, using rented mailbox addresses in both countries and gratuitously publishing journals with titles that begin American Journal of… or British journal of… . I’ve written one blog post about the firm here. Pretty much everything about this firm is meager in every respect. It has the window dressing of a scholarly publisher, but open the curtains, and little is there.

LIST OF PUBLISHERS

Beall’s List:

Potential, possible, or probable predatory scholarly open-access publishers

This is a list of questionable, scholarly open-access publishers. We recommend that scholars read the available reviews, assessments and descriptions provided here, and then decide for themselves whether they want to submit articles, serve as editors or on editorial boards.  In a few cases, non-open access publishers whose practices match those of predatory publishers have been added to the list as well. The criteria for determining predatory publishers are here.
We hope that tenure and promotion committees can also decide for themselves how importantly or not to rate articles published in these journals in the context of their own institutional standards and/or geocultural locus.  We emphasize that journal publishers and journals change in their business and editorial practices over time. This list is kept up-to-date to the best extent possible but may not reflect sudden, unreported, or unknown enhancements.

Appeals: If you are a publisher and would like to appeal your firm’s inclusion on this list, please go here.
