Possible Paper Mill Company Has Proliferating Websites

Biblical Greek

This questionable company does a poor job of making up names.

Last December, I wrote a post about a possible paper mill, called Journal Publication. Now it appears the company behind Journal Publication is very nimble and has created several new brands, each represented by a new website offering the same “get published” services.

As shown above, this company has difficulty with personal names. It claims that one member of its “panel of PHD qualified experts” is “Biblical Greek [from] Standford [sic] University.” This blooper is from its International Journal of Modern Research & Development website, which is not really a journal at all, just another name for its possible paper mill services.

Exclusive offer for scholars in the middle east

It’s clear from this discount offer where they target their marketing.

Here is a list of all the scholarly publishing-related websites I found that appear to belong to the same company:

Possible Paper Mill Websites

Ace Publication Consultants

International Journal of Modern Research & Development (IJMRD)

International Union of Research Journal Publishing (IURJP)

Journal Publication

Prime Journal Consultants

Research Publication

Maria Jones, PhD Scholar

They use compelling images apparently lifted from other websites. Image from here: http://www.iurjp.com/about/

Through a Google search, I also found these websites advertising services that appear to be from the same company. Most are related to publishing and web design:

360 Custom Websites
App Maisters
Best Tutors Online
Brand Crux
GetReputed
Intelysis Art
International Book Publishing
iPrismTech
Logo Jeez
Onedayessay.com
PhD Research Consultants
SCITMission
XYZ Creative Group

This company shamelessly copies logos from legitimate companies onto its many websites. I do not know where it is based.
