Hi Aviaja, I've asked several times for my name to be removed from the advisory board. Never been asked to review or advise on anything to do with the conference. There are now many other good conferences and good journals in which to publish. I believe Fil Salustri has a list of good conferences. Best wishes, Terry -----Original Message----- From: PhD-Design - This list is for discussion of PhD studies and related research in Design [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Aviaja Borup Sent: Tuesday, 20 September 2011 9:26 PM To: Dr Terence Love Subject: Spamferences? Hi list members, I write this post in relation to spamferences as I hope the large amount of expertise from all the members can perhaps help this landscape of conferences and journals to become more transparent. I am a danish PhD student who have been following and enjoying this list for the past year. I was about to write a paper for the Design Principles and Practices conference as I thought it looked interesting, but I am now a bit concerned for multiple reasons: - There is a spam report on the publishing company in the chronicle - The CEO of the company is presenting their business model at YouTube about paying for getting things published (as I understand it) - A person from the advisory board didn't even know of the conference - None of my colleagues have heard of the conference/journal before. I therefore turn to this list for your experience with the conference/journal. The advisory board looks like this: International Advisory Board Genevieve Bell Intel Corporation, Santa Clara, USA. Michael Biggs University of Hertfordshire, Hertfordshire, UK. Thomas Binder Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen, Denmark. Jeanette Blomberg IBM Almaden Research Center, San Jose, USA. Eva Brandt Danmark Designskole, Copenhagen, Denmark. Peter Burrows RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia. Monika Bόscher Lancaster University, Lancaster, UK.

Lucy Suchman Lancaster University, Lancaster, UK. Ina Wagner Technical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria. Perhaps there are more people who where not aware of being in this board? Or maybe it is a good conference with this fine advisory board? Please help me out!
