    Regarding the Science Publishing Group, I had worked in the Big Apple and Fashion Avenue as far as I know is a nickname for a portion of 7th Avenue famous for its fashion design houses. Apparently, they are located next to Ralph Lauren so they can afford to pay the high rent selling designer clothes. If you want to look at gorgeous women, go hang out there. As for the phone number, the area code is not for NYC.

    I just looked unsuccessfully for 548 Fashion Avenue using Google Street View. 550 Fashion Avenue is an HSBC Bank branch. No address numbered 548 is visible.

      Unfortunately, this bogus journal is deceiving a lot of Iranian researchers and has managed to earn thousand dollars by this way. Unfortunately, Iranian Ministry of Science, Research and Technology never has informed Iranian researchers yet.

    This is an indicator that there is need to reduce on the costs of publishing especially for developing countries. I have also been a victim.
