Spam calls for papers on Academia.edu

In the last week or so, I have been deluged by “calls for papers” from a variety of similar sounding so-called journals which I don’t think really exist or, if they do, which are exceptionally scammy.

Keep an eye out for:

• International Journal on Bioinformatics & Biosciences (IJBB)
• Machine Learning and Applications: An International Journal (MLAIJ)
• International Journal of Computer Science and Information Technology (IJCSIT)
• International Journal of Microelectronics Engineering (IJME)
• Advanced Energy: An International Journal (AEIJ)
• International Journal on Cloud Computing: Services and Architecture (IJCCSA)
• International Journal of Fuzzy Logic Systems (IJFLS)
• Civil Engineering and Urban Planning: An International Journal (CiVEJ)
• International Conference on Computer Networks & Communications (CCNET)
• International Conference on Bioscience & Engineering

I have reported them all as spam to the platform, but I am not too hopeful about them taking action.
