Another fake journal!

By -

Here are the screenshots about this fake journal (Science, Technology and Development Journal), follows fake ISSN, fake DoI, claims fake UGC-CARE listed.

In this post we will see about a fake journal that claims a false UGC-CARE list, fake ISSN, fake DOI.
Below is the website. https://journalstd.com/


Below are the detailed analysis:

1. Fake UGC claim: ISSN number is not listed in UGC-CARE list



2. Fake title as it is not listed in UGC-CARE List




3. No physical contact address is listed in the website




4. No dedicated and official mail id, any reputed journal will follow a general mail?



5. Uses a fake ISSN number, did a search in the ISSN portal, it displays a UK JOURNAL.




6. Uses fake Digital object identifier (DoI) string, it shows and direct to google drive link. Surely this is not useful for citing this article any more, so authors are requested to away from this fake journal.


7. Uses fake journal title in the published paper!





So authors are requested to away from this fake journal!
