Austin Publishing Group is an open-access publisher of academic journals and ebooks established in 2014 in Hyderabad, India.[1] It has addresses in Irving, Texas, USA; in Amsterdam, the Netherlands; and in Tokyo, Japan,[2] but is actually based in Hyderabad.[3][4]
Activities[edit]
The company uses an open-access model of publishing which charges the authors. The company claims that articles are peer reviewed.[5] The company has been criticized for predatory publishing practices and is contained on Beall's list of potential predatory journals and publishers.[6]
Criticism[edit]
The company or its journals have been criticized for sending unsolicited emails,[4][7] for publishing the same article in several journals,[8] for deceptive publisher location,[9] and for not having achieved indexing in any recognized service.[10]
In 2017 Austin publisher’s journal "Austin Addiction Sciences" appointed a fake scientist as its editorial board member. An Australian professor had applied for membership in the editorial board using a photograph of popular singer Kylie Minogue wearing glasses and a made-up curriculum vitae of his Staffordshire terrier dog, including a bachelor degree from the non-existing Staffordshire College of Territorial Science, a Master of Early Canine Studies awarded by the non-existing Shenton Park Institute for Canine Refuge Studies, and a doctoral degree for canine studies from the non-existing Subiaco College of Veterinary Science.[11][12]
