Predatory Publishers
Following publishers have several journals that are considered predatory by the mainstream scientific community. There is a possibility that not all of their journals are predatory. However, it is believed that as compared to other publishers these publishers have most lax policies to accept and publish articles in their journals. We neither encourage nor discourage the authors from submitting their scientific works to the journals associated with these publishers. Such decisions should be made by the authors based on their needs and their institutions’ requirements.
