Academic Journal Review: SJRQ2-Multicultural Education (MC)

ON 13 AUGUST 2022 THE ME WEB SITE FROM Caddo Gap Press IS SHOWING A Q2 SJR RANKING BUT ON THE SAME DAY IF YOU GO TO SJR, THEY ARE SHOWING A Q3 RANKING. https://www.scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php?q=145057&tip=sid&clean=0

The email researchpublication46@gmail.com is also being used for submission solicitations for Multicultural Education.

This is a highly sophisticated scam coming at you from multiple directions as the real journal has been hijacked, including the ISSN and the use of a screen capture of an older SJR ranking score. Let me try to explain.

First, here is a screen capture sent to a Thai doctoral student in June 2021.

1. Updated: 2022.06.18

There are 5 journals I have found that use the words “Multicultural Education” in their journal’s title.

This is cloned/ fake website http://ijdri.com/me/

please avoid this linked publication

the original journal website is

http://www.caddogap.com/periodicals.shtml

Agree two different website http://ijdri.com/me/ vs http://www.caddogap.com/periodicals.shtml

The number paper published in http://ijdri.com/me/ is totally different from the https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/145057#tabs=2

Please 2020 published 16 (based on Scopus database) and refer to http://ijdri.com/me/ more than 100 paper.

I think please avoid this journal. Please double check on the website vs Scopus database. Totally different.

How can articles, published in your journal/magazine, be accessed, coz the website http://www.caddogap.com/periodicals.shtml is static, giving no clue to the archives of your journal?

2. Three of these journals are presently ranked Q1 or Q2 and are legitimate.

3. The 4^th journal has been hijacked. They have taken the old 2019 SJR quartile ranking (Q3) and pasted it into their home page. They are also using the same ISSN number as the legitimate site. I guess they are unaware or too stupid to realize that the site they have hijacked has risen to SJRQ2. Very sloppy.
