Removed from DOAJ (2017-01-03). DOAJ's stated reason: Journal not adhering to Best practice. A removal from the Directory of Open Access Journals is a quality/transparency signal — it can mean the journal became inactive or failed DOAJ's re-review criteria. This is not proof of predatory practice, but verify the journal's current status and policies before submitting. Check on DOAJ ↗
