Mr Bishop,
My warning notes to the list always involve profit-making enterprises where predatory publishers and conferences attempt to make money off unsuspecting researchers. In the case of predatory publishers, all are identified on Jeffrey Beall’s list of predatory publishers.
I welcome and support projects by legitimate not-for-profit organisations, universities, and serious publishers. You have never seen me criticise these.
There are two simple ways that allow you can see that the journal is legitimate. First, use the link to Elsevier web site:
http://www.elsevier.com/journals/she-ji-the-journal-ofdesign-economics-and-innovation/2405-8726
You will learn about the journal there.
Second, you can identify the editors, the editorial board, and the editorial advisory board. If you were active in design research, you would recognise the names of the editors and advisors of this journal. While you show up on this list from time to time, you do not seem to publish in our field. If you don’t publish in design journals and you don’t do design research yourself, you won’t recognise these names. If you did, you would.
Read the CFP. We are not making money from this journal. This is an open access journal that charges no author fees. In this respect, we resemble the International Journal of Design and FormAkademisk, two open access journals that charge no publishing fees.
My warning notes do not warn against journals or conferences because I DO NOT know about them. I warn researchers and list members about dodgy journals and conference because I DO know about them. I follow the field. I check the web sites. I check the journals against Beall’s list. I study the terms under which profit-making ventures ask researchers to pay money to be published or to participate.
As many list members do, I make resources available to the list. If you had been active here since the list began, you would know this. You do not participate in the field of design research. You are not part of a university or research organisation involved in design. You are not responsible for training research students and you are not responsible for a PhD program in design. In fact, you don’t seem to have a PhD and you are not active in doctoral education in any field. I do not know why you have decided to make me the repeated target of irrelevant personal attacks, but I think it is time to stop.

Why are you always using this list to promote your efforts and yet to criticise those of others?
It is as if you think you have more right to publicity than others in the same field as you.
How do we know your journal is not a fake one? You seem to think anyone who posts a CFP that isn't for a publication you have heard of is fake. I haven't heard of your journal before so how can I know it's not fake?
