Warning on Counterfeit Journal Websites

We ask all the authors to beware of counterfeit journal websites.

When contacting scientific journals you are not familiar with, one should check the journal credentials before submission. The authors should start with checking if the journal prominently displays its publication policy and policy for author fees.

Before the final submission, we invite you to check the profile of the journal at Clarivate Analytics Web of Science Master Journal List, which after registration is available free of charge, where direct link to the original journal website can be found.
