These concerns are poor editorial standards with lack of proper editorial board, editorial offices, academic fraud, deception and misinterpretations, trust deficit in research literature and lack of archiving policy. It is of utmost importance that the scholarly groups, researchers, academicians, editors, editorials boards, institutions, publishers should be aware of these predatory journals, and avoid supporting these journals by not publishing in them, or being a part of their editorial board members.
