The Cabell’s review board will consider Predatory Report appeals with a frequency of one appeal request per year, per journal. Publications classified as predatory, those with unacceptable practices, are encouraged to amend their procedures to comply with accepted industry standards.
Requests for appeals must be sent to journals@cabells.com. Journals wishing to appeal inclusion in Cabells Predatory Reports must demonstrate an honest revision of their behaviors with proof of corrective and preventative actions for each Predatory Report violation.
Upon review, the criteria will be applied with strict scrutiny and the board will conduct a complete examination of the appellant. To facilitate the appeals process, the appellant must comply with all requests for additional information regarding policies, procedures, and the publication’s peer review process.
Following this appeal process, a journal found to no longer qualify for Cabells Predatory Reports will be removed. Please note that removal from Cabells Predatory Reports does, by no means, qualify a journal for Cabells Journalytics. Journals wishing to be included in Cabells Journalytics must follow the proper application procedures and are subject to additional review to confirm qualification.
thank you for creating this useful website. Can you update new predatory journal list? It is very inmortant for me as a young journal editor to share with my peer/writers in order to avoid junk publication. I really hope you can publish the predatory list regulary as Proffesor Jeffrey has done.
Hi Admar
Many thanks for your comment. We update Predatory Reports constantly, and we agree it is very important for all Editors to be able to use. Due to the huge amount of work required to keep the list updated, we have to charge a subscription fee for people to access it. If you would like to recommend this to your institution’s library, please ask them to email us at journals@cabells.com and we can provide a quote for a subscription.
Many thanks, Simon
