- dijit 7y agoI strongly suspect that it would not have really been published.
- tduberne 7y agoI am pretty sure it would have been, as "published" here simply means uploading the pdf here: http://www.ijact.org/index.php/ijact http://www.ijact.org/index.php/ijact Having the papers there makes it look more like a "real" journal, and potentially makes the author decide to submit more in the future. I would even assume a lot of the authors "publishing" in such journals are perfectly aware of their quality, and do this just to increase their "peer-reviewed publications" stats. It is very difficult to separate those from legitimate journals on a publication list. For those not in academia: there are 100s of those journals. I get invitations to publish in such journals or conferences almost daily on my professional address. Some of them have the very same formatting as the ones in the article (same ugly fonts and colors).
