Warning about Predatory Journals

It has come to our attention that a predatory publisher is using our journal title and our ISSN’s on its own site. This piracy allows predators to represent themselves as being established and widely indexed, and to charge authors a fee for rapid publication of papers that appear only on their own websites and are not in fact indexed under the journal titles they have pirated. Hijacking and cloning are becoming increasingly common and increasingly problematic in academic publishing. It is essential that authors be aware of fraudulent websites.
