[AISWorld] FW: Get Your Impact Factor

[John Lamp]

Hi,

I received several of these invitations this morning. IMHO the website is very coy about what they are actually doing and how they do it.

*         the telephone number used in the registration (+45.36946676) seems to pop up all over the place on scam watch  websites

*         quite a few indexed journals seem to be published by organisations on Beall's list
http://scholarlyoa.com/individual-journals/

*         Jeffrey Beall added this to his list of 'bogus impact factor companies'

Many thanks to colleagues Paula Callan and David Groenewegen for their assistance.

Cheers
John
