Removal of source

edit

Hi Headbomb, I saw you removed information and a source that was claimed to be predatory publishing. For my own awareness in the future, why is this source not acceptable, and why was it removed? Fritzmann (message me) 02:40, 28 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

See predatory journal and WP:VANPRED. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 08:25, 28 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Right, I could infer that much. I was more asking how you identified the source as such. The journal does not appear on Wikipedia:List of companies engaged in the self-publishing business or on the link you sent me. Fritzmann (message me) 13:45, 28 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
It's from IDOSI Publications, a well-known predatory publisher. See our Citewatch, Beall's list, or the other references in the IDOSI category. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 15:55, 28 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
