This is interesting. It is an IP issue, but expecting a response from a predatory journal (apart from "our author fees are ...") would have about as much success as asking the creator of the universe to switch of gravity for a couple of days.

I am an editor of an IS journal, and would be concerned at the possibility of a suit for breach of copyright suit from MJSS if I accepted and published. Another way for them to make a bit of cash. I think that is as problematic as the position of the student.

This does require thought on a number of levels, including that of the university administration's response to the student unsuccessfully requesting a withdrawal.

Cheers
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
