OA Publisher Launches with over 350 New Journals

An ambitious new venture.

The International Journal Network is a new, open-access publisher that includes over 350 journals in its portfolio. The publisher’s main page lists San Francisco as its location, but its domain name is registered to Adam Curry at 4401 Roland Ave., Suite 405 in Baltimore, Maryland.

There is a residential condominium at that address. The publisher’s “contact us” page lists no location information.

On its main page, the publisher promises an acceptance decision within two weeks and charges a refundable, $65 review fee. If a paper is rejected, the $65 is refunded, but I doubt that many papers will be rejected. It is unclear if there is an article processing charge for accepted manuscripts in addition to this review fee.

Each journal’s submission page says this:

You understand that altough [sic] most materials are assessed within 7 days, this duration is non-binding.  A paper may require more than 7 days to review and provide a decision to the submitting author.

At this time, it appears that none of the journals has published an issue or has any editorial boards, yet the publisher is accepting article submissions.

Several of the journals deal with non-scientific topics, including:

• International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine Research & Practice
• International Journal of Paranormal Investigation
• International Journal of Astrology

 This publisher appears to be a one-man operation that operates out of an apartment in Baltimore. No serious scholar should submit his or her work to this publisher.
