Stop Predatory Journals

A community project appears to have started up where Jeffrey Beall left off at predatoryjournals.com. Anyone with a GitHub account can contribute to this work, which ought to make it a little more robust against attacks from Frontiers and anybody else who doesn’t like being exposed for what they are. The project is also on Twitter, although not very actively so. We applaud this, wish the project owners all the best, and recommend that anybody with the time and interest start contributing.

We do not support Vincenzo Piuri for IEEE president. We also regret having had to list the IP address and domain name of his alma mater, but that happens when you do not react to complaints of abuse.

The original spam and complaint happened in mid-May 2017.

Repeat spam in earlier today, no responses to the May complaint, so we listed the sending organization.

Another regrettable listing: Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria

We hope SendinBlue will waste no time with this one.

The domain name proimmune.net has been listed by us as a Sci Spammer since 2016-09-13. We do note that they were spamming from SendinBlue at that time, too.

Um, but of course, even if rocket dot scientists at scientificspam dot net have never published any scientific work as themselves…

We would like to invite you to submit an invited paper in our peer-reviewed open-access journal:

International Journal of Environmental Science
