Advance Research in Psychology and Behavioral sciences (ARPBS) predatory scam

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.
