A quick spot-check of some of their journal pages show no archives -- ie apparently launching in 2013. There's also a "Launch New Journal" menu option that doesn't work, and I see they are charging for publication. There are a few typos/oddities here and there as well that give me pause, including the fact that the title of one journal almost looks like they want it to appear being something produced by IEEE. Is this an example of 'title-squatting?' So in general, in the absence of other evidence I am a bit sceptical....especially since we've been hit twice in 3 days with this generic CFP solicitation. Of course, this is just my opinion based on a 2-minute skim of their site. -- rick ------ Richard F.

A scam? Absolutely. If you get that feeling from a 2-minute glance of their site, then your hunch is right. In my opinion, never a need to pay-to-publish in an academic journal. There are tons of legitimate options out there in our field (all the usual suspects).

Daren, You should know that the non-commercial open access journals also need some form of financial support (a stable business model). My understanding is that various of these journals currently rely on various forms of donations -- in some cases corporate, in others local universities (who have the resources to provide this support) and other... But a lot of open access journals are currently hitting a financial wall in that their source of voluntary labour and non-recurrent contributions are drying up and in the absence of appropriate funding models there are problems, at least on the horizon. Pay-to-publish (pay to play) is almost certainly not an appropriate way to go for a variety of reasons, but nor IMHO is a situation wihere there are publishing opportunities only for those with wealthy (and potentially self-interested ?) benefactors. Research grants in some cases now have provision for dissemination which IMHO could/should be linked to OA publishing and most importantly some provision needs to be developed to steer the funds that are currently going to over-priced commercial "free" publishing journals towards "free" publishing non-commercial OA journals. How to establish the relative value of individual journals in the midst of what appears to be a major onslaught of bad money chasing good (as in this instance) is something that will need to be addressed and quite quickly I believe if scholarly/research publishing as we have known it up to now is to survive. (And that of course, belies the question of whether such an approach to research dissemination is the most useful one in the longer term in any case, as a number of experiments currently underway are putting into question.)
