On 2 July 2017, an e-mail was received from a journal claiming to be Current Science, inviting prospective authors to submit papers with the promise of a two week acceptance for the July 2017 issue. Apart from the name, other aspects appeared to be legitimate, such as the Thomson Reuters journal impact factor, name of the editor-in-chief (EIC) and a physical postal address.

Abstract


On 2 July 2017, an e-mail was received from a journal claiming to be Current Science, inviting prospective authors to submit papers with the promise of a two week acceptance for the July 2017 issue. Apart from the name, other aspects appeared to be legitimate, such as the Thomson Reuters journal impact factor, name of the editor-in-chief (EIC) and a physical postal address.
