I got a email from another publisher (LAP). I can not figure out is the same scheme as David Publishing?
I have omitted real names and titles.

>A law professor has something available online about another David Publishing journal, in which he notes that he went through the editorial process for his piece after it was accepted, then was asked to pay for the effort of editing/review that the journal had just gone through. Also, the email I received suggested I might want to take part in the editorial/review functions of the journal at some point. My impression of the business model: have the authors pay a subsidy, get academics to do the reviewing/editing, and sell to libraries. They have a lot of Chinese titles listed on their website. That and some other info on the site makes it look as if it is a Chinese-owned company, and that the Illinois address listed is a branch of some sort.

>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.

>> Dear Seelangers,
>> 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.
