This “journal” does not publish research, is not listed on ResearchGate as a legitimate journal and does not understand how academia works. Their entire purpose appears to be scamming money out of unsuspecting academics and students.
I think we need to name and shame these predatory journals and hold them accountable. Please add your experiences here…
I receive at least a couple of emails from predatory journals a day, and I feel like IGDORE’s email is particularly easy to attack for them, maybe because it’s clearly listed on the website.
However, I believe most of us are skilled enough to recognize them as predatory and avoid them without naming them - otherwise, it would be a very (very!) long list, I’m afraid.
Once you publish a paper and your contact appears, you will be targeted by these “journals”. Fortunately, does not require to receive too many of these emails to recognise what they are, as the language in these messages tend to be similar in all of them. It would be good, though, that newcomers to research are taught and informed about this new infection we have to deal with in this time and age.
