Regarding the Removal of Journal from the List of Predatory Journals #80

Open TropicalPlantResearch opened 2 years ago

TropicalPlantResearch commented 2 years ago

Dear Team GitHub,

It is very unfortunate that the journal, "Tropical Plant Research" by the 'Society for Tropical Plant Research' is listed under the List of Predatory Journals. The journal was included as 'Standalone Journal' by Jeffrey Beall in 2017. It is true that we are standalone but not the predatory journal anyhow. We (Society for Tropical Plant Research) are practising the legitimate way of publication [see https://www.tropicalplantresearch.com/publication-policy and https://www.tropicalplantresearch.com/open-access]. All the required information about the Journal is present on the website [http://www.tropicalplantresearch.com].

We already contacted Mr. Jeffrey Beall in 2017 regarding this issue, but at that time he was unable to do anything (see the attached screenshot).

Here, I (Dr. Omesh Bajpai on the behalf of Society for Tropical Plant Research) am requesting to review the status of the journal in the List of Predatory Journals. It will be our pleaser to provide all the required information about the journal, to prove that we are not a predatory journal.

Waiting for your positive response.
