Clarifications issued by International Journal of Management, Economics and Social Sciences (IJMESS)

JERSEY CITY, N.J. - July 31, 2015 - PRLog -- This is to inform the readers, authors, and all stakeholders of International Journal of Management, Economics and Social Sciences (IJMESS) [ISSN 2304-1366] that a blogger Jeffery Beall included International Journal of Management, Economics and Social Sciences on his so-called list of possible predatory journals. It is clearly an unethical practice as he didn’t contact IJMESS administration for any questions he had in his mind about the journal, second, he is not an authority or qualified in the field of academic journals to declare them predatory. Dr. Dario Vasquez Journal Manager of International Journal of Management, Economics and Social Sciences contacted the blogger through emails and telephonic calls and asked him to remove the name of journal from his predatory list but he failed to do so.
