I agree and this was the bone of contention that caused this journal to be removed. Somebody complained that some professors had this on their CVs.

All,

Another concern is how the author records this information in his or her CV. Would it be unethical to simply not include it since there was a form of deception involved on the part of the journal editor?

Dear Sam,

I agree with other respondents that MJSS is unlikely to release the paper, and if you sue them (especially across national boundaries), well, I fear my clothes will come back in style before that gets resolved.

I would counsel the student to refine the paper enough to avoid plagiarism concerns and submit it elsewhere.  Maybe take a different approach, slightly different emphasis, etc.  Personally, maybe I'm too critical of my own work, but after publishing a paper I have always had paranoid feelings that I could have improved the paper in some way.

I hope this helps,
John

Hi

An interesting thought and debate. Mediterranean  Journal of Social Sciences (MJSS) was identified as predatory and removed from the IBSS list. My one student was told by his university to withdraw the paper he published. He has requested withdrawal and want to re-submit to an accredited non-predatory journal but MJSS have not responded. How should be handle this? If he publishes now is it self-plagiarism or what does he do in this instance?

Kindest regards

Sam
