Predatory journal / хижацький журнал European Chronicle

e journal lists significant researchers as members of its editorial board without their knowledge or consent. The journal has not responded to repeated calls to remove the names of these researchers from the list of members of the editorial board. The only contact information provided by the journal is a non-personalised e-mail address. It can also be assumed that the address of its headquarters as listed on its website is not where the journal is actually based. Under these circumstances, it is impossible to identify who is responsible for the journal, and therefore the options for recourse in the event of publication by the predatory journal are very limited, and, unfortunately, are often not even effectively enforceable.

For these reasons, we strongly recommend that you do not publish with this journal.

If you are not sure whether your chosen journal is trustworthy, do not hesitate to contact the faculty coordinator of open science and open access (martin.simota@fsv.cuni.cz) or  Open Science Support Centre, where we will be happy to help you assess it.
