Colleagues, I've been contacted by a younger scholar who has been asked to referee a paper for a journal called "Transactions on Internet Research." Suspicions are raised, however - see their website: http://www.internetjournals.net The journal is affiliated with the (in)famous IPSE conferences, and includes author fees of more than 400 EURO. The younger scholar notes warnings about this journal in the blogosphere as well - any additional thoughts, questions, comments - beginning with: I assume the best advice to the younger colleague is to stay away? cordially, - charles Distinguished Research Professor, Interdisciplinary Studies <http://www.drury.edu/gp21> Drury University 900 N.
