Friends,

I've been receiving multiple "Calls for Papers" from the International
Journal of Philosophy and Theology, but I suspect it's a scam.

First, identical messages are sent out from separate addresses under
probably fake names. Second, and perhaps more telling, the (quite
professional-looking) message announces that it practices double-blind
refereeing. How professional, one thinks, until one reads a bit further
and discovers the deadline for submissions:

"IJPT
is inviting papers for Vol. 3, No. 1. The online publication date is June 30,
2015. Submission Deadline: May 20, 2015."

Yes, that's right. Five-week turnaround for the entire editorial process,
including  double-blind referees.

I think not. Beware!

Following up on Michael Chase's email about a possible scam from a journal entitled 
International journal of philosophy and theology, I did some light web searching 
and here's what I found:

I think the journal Michael was referring to is published by the  "American Research 
Institute for Policy Development" and has ISSN number 2333-5750. They indeed promise to 
finish the entire process of peer-review and production within 5 weeks. In addition, 
they ask authors to pay a fee of 200 USD. Most members of the editorial board are from 
Nigeria and Malaysia. This makes me think that the journal is indeed a possible predatory 
journal, and that it should be avoided. Their webpage is http://ijptnet.com/

Also, this journal should not be confused with Philotheos: International Journal for 
Philosophy and Theology (ISSN 1451-3455 published by the Faculty of Theology of the 
University of Belgrade) and International Journal of Philosophy and Theology (formerly 
Bijdragen, ISSN 2169-2327, published by the Taylor&Francis Group) which are legitimate journals.

This  is what struck me as well, in disciplines where it is not very clear what goes on, the predatory 
adopts more or less legitimate titles. (it is to remembered that Taylor and Francis has, from what one 
gathers, nothing to do with theological group of the American research institute - which is not, repeat 
not - a us.gov domain at all. It is to be regretted that they manage to generate more confusion by 
sticking to the same title (from what one reads even the advisory bodies are non overlapping)

Subject: clarification re: different iterations of "International Journal of Philosophy and Theology"

Hi:

Regarding the recent posts on predatory journals, one of the tricky things is that they sometimes employ 
names similar to established, reputable venues.  The allegedly predatory journal highlighted yesterday, 
the "International Journal of Philosophy and Theology" published by the apparently crooked "American 
Research Institute for Policy Development", has used this tactic.  So please be aware that there is 
a well-established and decently well-regarded journal of the same name (formally called "Bijdragen") 
published by Taylor & Francis.

I just don't want to see the sheep lumped in with the goats here....

Thanks,
