David Publishing

[Park, Lynda]

I should be clearer.  It is a pay to publish solicitation.  Scam may be a strong word since I don't know much about David Publishing. None of the other learned society executive directors knew anything about David Publishing either, which made the unsolicited submission requests even more suspicious.

Pay to publish can work if your ms has the quality.

U Press friend publications are prostitution.

> I just got an unsolicited submission request from the History Research journal for a paper I gave at AATSEEL. The email looked a bit strange with some language problems. I googled David Publishing and several people are reporting it is a pay to publish scam. I did not reply to the email and have no first hand knowledge of whether it is a scam or not, but I thought I might at least raise the issue among my colleagues.
