I am surprised that the great *J Doc* has come to the level of soliciting articles (a characteristic one associates with predatory journals). The reason: Now there a surfeit of journals and not many really good authors. As journal publishing has become the most profitable business with several large companies declaring profits in the range 35-40% year after year, others are tempted to start new journals in an already crowded market. And journals like J Doc are paying the price for this folly. Arun On Mon, Jul 28, 2014 at 11:04 AM, Vandana Mahajan < VMahajan@emeraldinsight.com> wrote:
