What's that smell?

Do you like cookies too?

cookie warning from AJBSR asks “Do you like cookies?”

The American Journal of Biomedical Science & Research is a new one on me. From a brief search, it seems to be the only journal published by BiomedGrid LLC, which is not one of the hallmarks of a predatory publisher. But there are others, besides begging emails.

Gobbledegook, for one:

American Journal of Biomedical Science & Research (ISSN: 2642-1747) is an Open access online Journal dedicated in advancing the latest scientific knowledge of science, medicine, technology and its related disciplines.

American Journal of Biomedical Science & Research, about us

Why does the journal have an email address of gynecology@domain, rather than ajbsr@domain? And why the need for three domains, one of them Colombian? Unless some clueless spak's omitted the m.

And, no, that offer to unsubscribe at the bottom, the only option offered, is not a link.

Finally, AJBSR uses a misleading impact factor, passing off a dubious one as a reputable one.

Most researchers equate ISI with the reputable Institute for Scientific Information (Web of Science). In this case, though, ISI stands for International Scientific Indexing.
