In 2013,
Beall's list warned that
Mehta Press has been around since early 2010, but it has recently revamped its website and now boasts an amazing number of journals. I count 192 journals in the Mehta Press portfolio, but most of them are mere templates, lacking content and editorial boards. Because the publisher recently launched a bunch of new journals, it is spamming for manuscripts and editorial board members.
As of 11/29/16, Mehta Press's website did not even supply a list of journals -- just a drop-down menu with eight journals listed and a picture of some others. It has a prominent "Editors Invited" button on every journal page I found, suggesting that not much has changed. I clicked on the first journal,
Current Analytical Sciences. The editorial board was blank. There was no table of contents. Perhaps that is why the email to me "
