Shamim T. Polite invitation to submit article: Predatory journal's new strategy. Saudi J Anaesth 2019;13:281 |
Sir,
I would like to invite your attention regarding predatory journal's new strategy of polite invitation to submit article by email. I have enclosed two email messages of predatory journal for reference received more recently on 11.01.2019 and 30.12.2018 in my email ID shamu3duad@rediffmail.com (Dr. Shamim T) [Figure 1]. I have verified the journal Medical Research Archives and found that they are giving false bibliographic databases' indexation of the above journal. I also searched the editor designation of A. Phiri and I did not find authentic affiliation of the above editor in the concerned website of the journal. In the second email received on 11.01.2019, I have got invitation to fill the pre-Registration form [Figure 1]. In the journal webpage, I found that Medical Research Archives charges the following article publication fees for accepted papers: (Authors with no institutional, grant, or research funding: $1250; Authors with institutional, grant, or research funding: $2999).[1] The Medical Research Archives is hosted under KEI journals in the web.[2] Individual- and community-wise strategies to curb young researchers from predatory publishers and measures to initiate predatory publishers' detecting software were proposed recently.[3] It is sad to find that there are no legal measures implemented so far to halt the flourishing of predatory journals where innocent researchers become the prey of these journals.
