[Air-l] journal?

[Charles Ess]

Colleagues,

I've been contacted by a younger scholar who has been asked to referee a
paper for a journal called "Transactions on Internet Research."

Suspicions are raised, however - see their website:
http://www.internetjournals.net

The journal is affiliated with the (in)famous IPSE conferences, and includes
author fees of more than 400  EURO.

The younger scholar notes warnings about this journal in the blogosphere as
well -

any additional thoughts, questions, comments - beginning with: I assume the
best advice to the younger colleague is to stay away?

cordially,
- charles
