People send me stuff. I got this email today with the subject: Publish Your Research Paper
And then I read the image that was the advertisement for the new journal.
Yo, I’m invited to contribute “resarch”.

You’d think they’d have somebody proofread this before sending it out via mass email. There were hundreds of .edu addresses in the email I got.
The website says:
All research papers submitted to the journal will be double – blind peer reviewed referred by members of the editorial Board readers will include investigator in universities, research institutes government and industry with research interest in the general subjects.
Hmm, seems nobody peer reviewed their mailing.
But, I wonder if they do any actual peer review, or if this is simply another “pay for play” fake journal.

I like ‘academecian”.
The all caps is a nice touch.
I MEANT THE ALL CAPS IS A NICE TOUCH!!!!!!!!!!
I like the fake Hawaiian conferences even better!
Even better: “CALL FOR ARTILCE”.
BUT THEY WERE SMALLER THAN USUAL ALL-CAPS!

genuinely FAKE!
Sounds good.
On the other hand, I only use my paper for amateur streams …. (The professional ones always want hard water for their practicle experiments, don’t cha know.)
Oh my goodness. Will they have a call center?
I find that it makes much more sense if you read it aloud in a high pitched, halting voice, accenting the wrong syllables while altering ones intonation frequently.
Try it!
Was Obamacare behind this? About their speed.
They nailed ‘multidisciplinary’,
…to publish researches …by inviting yo to contribute resarch …a platform for reseacher …We invite you & …reearch scholars
but they seem a bit flummoxed by ‘research’
I didn’t see “practicle” in there. But somehow I doubt their “reearch” will get any results.
The background image of a hand writing stuff is enough to convince me it is genuine. But the impact factor is only 1.7, usually I only publish in >3.
I have for sale, genuine imitation artificial leather [insert article of clothing or furniture here]. 🙂
Is there any connection between this and where BEST was finally published? See:

Quote from link:
“India-based OMICS Publishing Group has just launched a new brand of scholarly journals called “SciTechnol.” This new OMICS brand lists 53 new journals, though none has any content yet.
Maybe Kiji would be interested. 😉
Some years ago – at least 15 or 20, since I still remember it – our local school district (the largest in Colorado) advertised a hiring search for a middle school “Principle”. Perhaps they didn’t have any?

Maybe it wasn’t practicle.
If this originated in Nigeria we’d be calling scam. In any case, reads like a scam. I wonder how many will fall for it?
It’s almost, but not quite, entirely unlike a real journal.
With apologies to Douglas Adams.
Hey, if one billion Indians speak English, then maybe they become the largest stockholders and decide spelling and grammar. For sure it would be hard to write in Hindi.

I have to trust Google translate on that one.
Happy New Year.
Hey, quit pickin’ on the Indians already!
In all honesty, a paper chronicling the ongoing trends of global cooling would probably get better treatment in this rag than in Scientific American or Science. If I had any practicle reearch, I’d consider a submittal….
Do you think they would publish my poetry?
