AnSq Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 What factors should be considered when submitting a paper to a journal in chemistry, particularly in an open-access journal?
AnSq Posted April 29, 2021 Author Posted April 29, 2021 I found some open-acess chemistry journals in SCIRP(https://www.scirp.org/journal/index.aspx#Chemistry & Materials Science). Does anybody know the quality of these journals?
exchemist Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Wingss said: The chemistry journals in SCIRP are good. They are peer-reviewed and the review process is good and efficient. Moreover, their editors are very nice and they can help you to publish your paper quickly. On the contrary, SCIRP has a very poor reputation. It seems to masquerade as being located in California, while really being a Chinese operation and is considered by Jeffrey Beall to be a predatory journal organisation. I quote a passage from the Wikipedua article about SCIRP: The company has been accused of being a predatory open access publisher[6] by Jeffrey Beall and of using email spam to solicit papers for submission.[4] In 2014 there was a mass resignation of the editorial board of one of the company's journals, Advances in Anthropology, with the outgoing Editor-in-Chief saying of the publisher "For them it was only about making money. We were simply their 'front'."[7] From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_Research_Publishing Edited May 13, 2021 by exchemist

I have read many excellent articles published by this publishing house. Well "Tina", comment removed by mod. I bet you can't provide a link to a reference showing Beall's "apology". Furthermore I note you do not deny the Wiki statement about the mass resignation of the editorial board in 2014.
