[robotics-worldwide] [journals] Predatory publishers in robotics

[John Hollerbach]

People have been getting invitations to join the International Journal
of Robotics Research, Applications and Automation.

https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__madridge.org_Journal-2Dof-2DRobotics-2DResearch-2DApplications-2Dand-2DAutomation_&d=DwICaQ&c=clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=0w3solp5fswiyWF2RL6rSs8MCeFamFEPafDTOhgTfYI&m=K0cJbJWvd0dedQ0u_3ZjbQQpqr_2dvaYMGE7qXko57U&s=tQVJYXd-YNCPsgBK_IAr7EXcXCamXfSYtVcJpE7QRbU&e=

This name is a blatant imitation of the International Journal of
Robotics Research.  This journal does not have an ISSN number, and its
publisher Madridge is listed on Beall's List of predatory publishers.

The robotics community should be on the watch for scam artists like this.
