Dear Dr. Melandri Elvira, We have recently published a paper https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/1564/1/012025/pdf and we examined the high standards of the WSEAS Publications. We categorically state that WSEAS has absolutely no relation to the concept of predatory publishing. Predatory Publishing and Its Impact on the Academic World

Predatory publishing has emerged as a critical concern in the academic world, particularly within the realm of open-access publishing models. These exploitative practices, often masquerading as legitimate academic outlets, have raised serious questions about the integrity and sustainability of scholarly communication. Predatory publishers typically charge high fees for publishing articles while neglecting fundamental academic processes such as peer review, editorial oversight, and ethical publishing standards. This has sparked a widespread debate about the potential harm to academic quality and trust in scientific literature.

In contrast to these harmful practices, the WSEAS has been steadfast in its commitment to rigorous academic standards since its inception in 1996. Throughout its history, WSEAS has provided a platform for reputable journals and conferences across a range of disciplines, including engineering, applied mathematics, and natural sciences. The organization has consistently upheld a transparent and accountable approach to publishing, maintaining a reputation for academic excellence and trustworthiness. Allegations that seek to categorize WSEAS as a predatory entity are not only unfounded but also misrepresent the long-established processes that the organization has employed to ensure academic rigor and transparency.

The concept of predatory publishing was first brought to the forefront by Jeffrey Beall, a librarian at the University of Colorado, who compiled a list of publishers he identified as potentially exploitative. According to Beall's definition, predatory publishers are those that engage in deceptive practices, charging authors publication fees while forgoing essential editorial and peer-review processes that ensure the scientific integrity of published research. As Beall's work gained widespread attention, it became a reference point for identifying such publishers and protecting authors from falling prey to them.

WSEAS's Commitment to High-Quality Publishing Practices: WSEAS has long adhered to the belief that journals and conferences that bypass proper peer review and editorial scrutiny are inherently unsustainable. The organization understands that academic outlets that do not maintain editorial rigor or engage in meaningful peer-review processes cannot earn long-term recognition or respect within the global scholarly community. This fundamental principle drives the editorial practices at WSEAS, ensuring that every submission is rigorously reviewed and evaluated by experts in the respective fields.

In WSEAS journals, every submission undergoes a double-blind peer review process, meaning that both the authors and reviewers are anonymized to prevent any potential bias. Each article is reviewed by at least two independent experts, ensuring a robust and objective evaluation. Reviewers are carefully selected based on their field-specific expertise and proven track record in the relevant discipline. This commitment to quality is evident in the extensive feedback provided to authors, which helps them improve the clarity, accuracy, and impact of their work.

To further demonstrate its commitment to transparency, WSEAS maintains a publicly accessible database of all submissions over the past five years. This archive is available at:

http://www.wseas.org/main/journals/JournalsDB.zip

The database includes both accepted and rejected papers, ensuring complete transparency in the editorial process. By providing access to this data, WSEAS allows the academic community to see firsthand the rigorous evaluation process that each paper undergoes. This is a rare and commendable practice that fosters trust and accountability in academic publishing.

WSEAS also maintains an average acceptance rate of approximately 20%, which aligns with the acceptance rates of highly reputable academic journals. This low acceptance rate is a direct reflection of the organization�s commitment to quality over quantity. Similarly, for conference proceedings, each submission is reviewed by a technical committee, ensuring that only the most high-quality and impactful research is presented at WSEAS events.

A Benchmark for Academic Integrity and Transparency:

One of the key elements that sets WSEAS apart from predatory publishers is its open availability of submission and acceptance data, which is a rare and commendable practice in the world of academic publishing. By making detailed information about submissions, reviews, and acceptance rates publicly available, WSEAS sets a benchmark for responsible and transparent academic publishing. This practice contrasts sharply with predatory publishers, who often accept submissions without review and obscure acceptance rates to hide their lack of academic rigor.

WSEAS offers additional transparency by providing authors with detailed peer review reports, which outline the comments and suggestions of the reviewers. Rejected papers are accompanied by rejection notices that include reviewer feedback, ensuring that authors can learn from their submissions and improve for future submissions. Additionally, WSEAS makes its conference databases available, including acceptance metrics that help authors understand the competitive nature of the conference submission process.

Unlike predatory publishers, WSEAS is indexed in major academic databases such as Scopus and INSPEC, both of which are recognized worldwide as authoritative sources of scholarly literature. These indexing services further validate the credibility of WSEAS publications, as only journals and conferences that meet rigorous academic standards are included in these databases.

WSEAS has consistently responded to past allegations with clear, documented evidence of its robust peer review processes, acceptance statistics, and indexing credentials. This transparency has enabled the organization to address any concerns openly and establish a reputation for fairness and rigor. Authors, reviewers, and editors continue to express strong confidence in the organization�s ability to provide high-quality academic publishing services.

The Importance of Caution in Labeling Publishers as Predatory:

The broader academic community must exercise caution when labeling open-access publishers as predatory without clear evidence. Such blanket accusations can cause significant harm, including reputational damage, reduced collaboration between academic institutions, and the spread of misinformation. It's crucial for scholars and institutions to evaluate publishers based on verifiable criteria such as editorial practices, peer-review processes, and indexing in reputable databases.

WSEAS as a Model for Responsible Academic Publishing:

Rather than being viewed as a predatory publisher, WSEAS�s publishing model should be regarded as a gold standard for balancing openness with rigor in academic publishing. By publishing comprehensive submission statistics, maintaining strict editorial standards, and encouraging public scrutiny of its processes, WSEAS has established itself as a leader in responsible academic publishing.

This paper demonstrates conclusively that WSEAS has never engaged in predatory publishing practices. On the contrary, it operates with an unwavering commitment to transparency, editorial rigor, and quality. By maintaining low acceptance rates, publishing peer review statistics, and being indexed in reputable databases, WSEAS reflects the values of an academic institution focused on long-term credibility and the advancement of knowledge, rather than seeking short-term financial gains.

I am the Editor-in-Chief of WSEAS Transactions on Information Science and Applications. I am really very proud. Recently I have received many invitations from various Predatory Publishers. They accept papers without any serious peer review and they ask more than 1500 EUR. For me, any Publisher that charges more than 1500 EUR is Predatory. I am proud for my Journal WSEAS Transactions on Information Science and Applications. Most of the WSEAS Journals have no fees or have some small fee (300 EUR). Stay away from Predatory Publishers. Publish in WSEAS which is a genuine, honest, reputable Publisher. I see now that the WSEAS Team has published this: Predatory Conferences, Predatory Journals and how to avoid them.

Moto: Hate predatory Publishers, dear WSEAS friends

Reply from the WSEAS

Dear Dr. Ntalianis

First of all the term "Predatory journals: is quite fuzzy. There is no definition
Anyway, leading scholars and publishers from ten countries have agreed a definition of predatory publishing that can protect scholarship.
It took 12 hours of discussion, 18 questions and 3 rounds to reach.(Agnes Grudniewicz, David Moher, Kelly D. Cobey, Gregory L. Bryson, Samantha Cukier, Kristiann Allen, Clare Ardern, Lesley Balcom, Tiago Barros, Monica Berger, Jairo Buitrago Ciro, Lucia Cugusi, Michael R. Donaldson, Matthias Egger, Ian D. Graham, Matt Hodgkinson, Karim M. Khan, Mahlubi Mabizela, Andrea Manca, Katrin Milzow, Johann Mouton, Marvelous Muchenje, Tom Olijhoek, Alexander Ommaya, � Manoj M. Lalu )
The consensus definition of Predatory Journals accourding these Scholars and according WSEAS is: �Predatory journals and publishers are entities that prioritize self-interest at the expense of scholarship and are characterized by false or misleading information, deviation from best editorial and publication practices, a lack of transparency, and/or the use of aggressive and indiscriminate solicitation practices.�
I think that our WSEAS Members, WSEAS Authors, WSEAS friends must be careful and must not fall fall into the trap of Predatory Journals

"I have just seen the site: https://www.wseas.org/main/author-testimonials.php and I want also spontaneously to contribute. I have published some papers in WSEAS Transactions, while several of my papers submitted in WSEAS have been rejected. Recently, I organized a special Issue with 5 papers in WSEAS Transactions on Environment and Development. I received 5 papers and I forwarded them to WSEAS. Only one paper was accepted in WSEAS Transactions on Environment and Development, the other 4 were rejected. So, the statistics on their web site are absolutely true

For several years now, for every paper submitted in WSEAS journals and WSEAS Transactions, I received rigorous peer review line by line on all of my papers. I thank the WSEAS reviewers (really international experts on their field of research) that WSEAS used for my papers. These reviewers' comments helped my team to improve my papers. It is usual the reviewers of WSEAS to send you 2-3 pages with comments commenting on your paper. Usually the WSEAS reviewers find in my papers various mistakes in Equations, various omissions in Figures and Tables and several corrections in English Language. All these years, I have published several papers in WSEAS and nobody has asked me to pay for anything. WSEAS is really the emerald of academic publishers. Do not publish in various dubious, fake, predatory publishers (outside WSEAS). Publish in WSEAS conferences, WSEAS books and WSEAS journals."

The editorial staff of WSEAS Journals must be thanked for taking necessary steps to peer review the submitted article at the earliest. In fact, my article was reviewed very fast and provided with constructive comments from anonymous reviewers which greatly helped me to improve the quality of my paper. WSEAS is a real academic publisher. It is a genuine publisher, quite opposite from recent predatory policies of the predatory publishers This is why we will continue to support the WSEAS

My article had the title Multi-agent searching system for medical information??�. It has been accepted for publication in WSEAS Transactions on Computers after major revision. The reviewers comments for the article were very important for the future of my article. We did not pay Publication Expenses even the journal is OA. There is absolutely no relation of WSEAS with the Predatory Publishers!

To whom it may concern. I have excellent experience with WSEAS. They do care about the quality of the work published and they have really a good system of peer-review They follow high standards of scholarly publishing and they check very carefully the plagiarism and the self-plagiarism I am proud that my paper after rigorous peer-review has been accepted in WSEAS Transactions on Business and Economics, Even the editors were specialized and accurate in every sentence of the research, and this indicates the strength of the WSEAS. I will continue sending papers to WSEAS. I trust them and I trust their peer review. I really thank the WSEAS Transactions Associate Editor for his great patience and also thank the reviewers for the many detailed comments on my manuscript.

A Letter from the Editor-in-Chief of the WSEAS Transactions on Power Systems

I came across a post on Facebook where someone mentioned receiving a letter of acceptance from us just one week after submission. Perhaps the WSEAS reviewers were particularly quick with this article. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, nor does it reflect poorly on the WSEAS publisher. On the contrary, the WSEAS publishing house is known for its rigorous peer-review process and high rejection rate.

What I'm telling you is that I am the journal WSEAS Transactions on Power Systems, myself, and I have the right to access all the articles on the WSEAS servers. So I'm telling you that the most common publication time frame is 6 to 12 months. You can also check the articles yourselves, when the article was submitted, when it received its first review, when the revised version was submitted, and whether a second review was possibly sent�this information is available in the PDFs of the published articles. Every month, hundreds of articles are reviewed

It certainly wouldn't have been just one week. Perhaps it was 10, 15 or 20 days. In any case, receiving the reviewers' comments on a paper in, say, 15 or 20 days is an extreme case where all three reviewers responded quickly. I don't rule it out, but it is extremely rare and unlikely. However, this is not a bad thing. As the Editor-in-Chief of the journal WSEAS Transactions on Power Systems, I can assure you that only about 22% to 25% of the submitted papers across all the journals of the organization are accepted, while the rest are rejected. I know this because I have access to the organization�s central server. Moreover, the names of the reviewers are published on their website, and not only that each author SIGNS a certificate stating that they received a detailed and rigorous peer review. This certificate is published next to the article on our web site. Check also the acceptance dates, first review, second review, third review in the articles. You will see that the strictest academic standards are upheld. If you doubt for this post, send me email in my academic email address abulucea@em.ucv.ro and I will give you more details Thanks

"In WSEAS journals, the Editors, the Associate Editors respond to your letters, report the results of the peer review process by 3 or more than 3 reviewers in time and send you these valuable comments. One always feels from the WSEAS Transactions team, especially from the editor and assistant editor, a collegial, academic attitude along with high professionalism, rigorous peer review by many reviewers and objectivity. Their rejection rate is too high. So, some of my papers have been rejected, others have been accepted always with numerous comments. Against the background of numerous facts of the unbridled commercialization attempt of scientific publication, in the journals of WSEAS transactions you pay nothing. Personally, it is not the first time I have published in WSEAS transactions journals and I have never paid any amount to publish an article."

Abstract: - In the express letter we reveal that some unknown Hackers and Crooks from Nigeria have used recently the name of WSEAS in a poor attempt to collect articles from our authors or even to involve the WSEAS in Predatory Practices and Blogs. WSEAS Authors sent us complaints that they receive spam from these hackers. So, it has come to our notice that some hackers and crooks use the name of one of our former clerks just to collect papers. They sent spam with the email: andrew.rosseli@jpmorgan.com

Several WSEAS authors sent us complaints that they received spam from some crooks/hackers with email address andrew.rosseli@jpmorgan.com

This email address and the domain that they used had never had any relation with WSEAS. We will examine in this study what's happened. Also the same email address andrew.rosseli@jpmorgan.com sent email to us for some "WSEAS Conference" in Nigeria. However WSEAS has never organized any conference in Nigeria.

Key-Words: - Predatory Publishers, Predatory Practices, Predatory Journals, Predatory Academicians, Predatory Techniques, Predatory Magazines, Predatory Conferences, Hackers, Hacking, WSEAS, WSEAS Journal, WSEAS Conferences, WSEAS Seminars, Andrew Roselli

1 Introduction

In our WSEAS organization, it has come to our notice that some hackers used on the Internet the name of one of our former clerks just to collect papers from innocent and unsuspecting authors. These hackers used the email address : andrew.rosseli@jpmorgan.com that does not belong to WSEAS. This email address is not @wseas.com or @wseas.org

We decided to publish our concerns to some other journal outside the WSEAS. On the other hand the WSEAS had never sent any email using fake email addresses. Nobody from WSEAS (Editors-in-Chief, Co-Editors, Reviewers, Authors etc) has any relation with these fake and counterfeit emails. WSEAS has no relation actually with these predatory hackers. In fact, the falsified name of our clerk who does not work in WSEAS after January of 2022 was used by hackers in a poor attempt to grasp some scientific papers from innocent and unsuspecting authors.

WSEAS and the Editors-in-Chief, Co-Editors, Reviewers, Authors etc have no connection with platforms of J.P.Morgan @jpmorgan.com and hackers and we do not use any email like andrew.rosseli@jpmorgan.com

WSEAS does not use J.P.Morgan emails to collect papers! That would not be possible for us to hand out the email addresses to people that we don't know and we don't trust. It would be a foolish action. On the other hand the predatory journals are not inviting author to publish their manuscripts free of charge!

In these falsified, fake and bogus emails it is supposed that WSEAS used other domains to collect articles! This is not possible and never will happen!

WSEAS has never sent emails using other domains articles, except those of wseas.com or wseas.org and some of our conferences like cscc.co and mcsc-conf.org. In any event, the reported clerk in these emails is not an employee of WSEAS in 2022.

Author testimonials. Over than 100000 Reviews from 2011 to 2022. This is the real academic peer review process!

Our Personal Comments are

I am the Editor-in-Chief of WSEAS Transactions on Information Science and Applications. Recently I have received many invitations from Predatory Publishers. They accept papers without any serious peer review and they ask more than 1500 EUR. For me, any Publisher that charges more than 1500 EUR is Predatory. I am proud for my Journal WSEAS Transactions on Information Science and Applications. Most of the WSEAS Journals have no fees or have some small fee (300 EUR)

Dear WSEAS

In a scientific work - submission of publication - is an important step. In WSEAS Journals, Peer review of the paper is carried out by experts in the discipline on which the paper is based. Reading a paper with a critical and analytical mind means that these comments must be logical, coherent, and focused.
In WSEAS Journals, the review can make a dramatic change in scientific work and serves to highlight valuable material for researchers and subsequently facilitate its publication.
The development of the research structure and the valorization of knowledge is a challenge for doctors in all fields.
Dear researchers, valorization is a secret of development.

As experts, we still have a chance to leave our mark in the world of science: "The real investment in the world is not the one where we earn money; scientific research is an investment in the future". So, We thank the editor-in-chief and Assistant Editor of WSEAS journal and we thank Reviewers who review interesting papers in various fields.

Many Thanks.
Regards.

"I have just seen the site: https://www.wseas.org/main/author-testimonials.php and I want also spontaneously to contribute. I have published some papers in WSEAS Transactions, while several of my papers submitted in WSEAS have been rejected. Recently, I organized a special Issue with 5 papers in WSEAS Transactions on Environment and Development. I received 5 papers and I forwarded them to WSEAS. Only one paper was accepted in WSEAS Transactions on Environment and Development, the other 4 were rejected. So, the statistics on their web site are absolutely true. For several years now, for every paper submitted in WSEAS journals and WSEAS Transactions, I received rigorous peer review line by line on all of my papers. I thank the WSEAS reviewers (really international experts on their field of research) that WSEAS used for my papers. These reviewers' comments helped my team to improve my papers. It is usual the reviewers of WSEAS to send you 2-3 pages with comments commenting on your paper. Usually the WSEAS reviewers find in my papers various mistakes in Equations, various omissions in Figures and Tables and several corrections in English Language. All these years, I have published several papers in WSEAS and nobody has asked me to pay for anything. WSEAS is really the emerald of academic publishers. Do not publish in various dubious, fake, predatory publishers (outside WSEAS). Publish in WSEAS conferences, WSEAS books and WSEAS journals."

Taking this opportunity, we would like to let you know that more than 14,000 reviewers have evaluated WSEAS articles the past 10 years. Their names and email addresses are available at our website www.wseas.com. Moreover, every author that publishes with us is obliged to sign a certification where is mentioned that i) at least three or more reviewers responded with comments and that certifies the peer-review process ii) no references where added by the reviewers or WSEAS and iii) the article has passed the Turnitin check.

Moreover to inform you that the rejection rate is very high with 1/5 articles being accepted and all the Editors-in-Chief have signed a certificate where they certify the rejection rate.

So, it would be totally unfair to think that our journals are Predatory

5 Conclusion

WSEAS Authors sent us from time to time complaints that they receive spam from Predatory Publishers. It has come to our notice that some hackers and crooks used the name of one of our former clerks just to collect papers from authors. Also, they sent us complaints that they received spam from a hacker with an email address andrew.rosseli@jpmorgan.com. This email address has never had any relation with WSEAS.
