Scientific Research Publishing (SCIRP) is a Chinese science publisher based in Wuhan . The publishing house was founded in 2007 by Huaibei Zhou. By Jeffrey Beall it belongs to the so-called predatory publishers ( English predatory open access publishers ) that any anti-money articles publish, one of which is however believed to deviating not from their own account for a peer review provide. SCIRP is known for sending spam emails to promote article submissions and collaboration on the editorial board.
Sometimes scientists were named as the editor who knew nothing about it. There are 13 scientists on the Advisory Board (as of 2017).
Since Chinese scientists receive financial incentives when they publish abroad, the publisher is popular there. SCIRP is nominally based in Irvine, California , but is actually a Chinese company.
In 2012, the journal Advances in Pure Mathematics , published by SCIRP, accepted a nonsense article created by the Mathgen computer program , which was only not published because the submitter did not want to pay the requested processing fee of US $ 500.
The publisher publishes journals in the fields of natural sciences , health sciences , computer science , engineering sciences , social sciences , humanities and mathematics . He is a member of Crossref and awards DOIs and ISSNs for his journals . SCIRP currently publishes 247 journals . They have titles such as Open , World and International Journal of ... or Advances in ... .
