Beware of fake Journals (Print) in Engineering

Dear All,

Please be aware about the mushrooming of  fake journals being published by many publishers and librarians fall prey to such vendors to subscribe the same just to meet their Library norms in engineering colleges/Technical institutes.

Few journals put the logo of Thomson Reuters/ Google scholar/or logos of reputed indexing directory and put a text like indexing, going to be indexed etc. Request all to be careful while subscribing such journals for your courses being offered in your institute.

They also mention that their journals are very popular and have high impact factor. But the real fact is that the journals are poor cited journals and they don't have the Impact Factor provided by Thomson Reuters or NISCAIR, however they mention a wrong IF on the journal title or on the journal inner cover page else only to please the librarians and faculty for subscription and payment purpose

Some journals typically have words like 'world', 'global', 'international' in titles to impress authors to submit manuscripts .

Some have fictitious editor(s), editorial boards and even if there are real people, their consent is almost never obtained.
