I have received some invitations like this and many invitations to contribute.
It is annoying to say the least. Notably, on the few occasions when I have
written to ask why I was contacted the result is a stony silence.
Sincerely,

Dear Tipsters,
As a couple of people have pointed out, this journal is on the Beale list. For
many of these journals, refereeing/reviewing is minimal and they essentially
publish what they receive (when the fee is paid). I was caught in one of these
situations a couple of years ago. I still like the paper that was written but I
doubt very much if it is will be read or cited much (except of course by me).
If you have not yet sent payment, you may wish to be very cautious about going
ahead. In case the journal does have some standards you might at least make
some more enquiries. For example, for a couple of cases, for journals that I
had doubts about I contacted someone on the editorial board because they were
listed as being in a psychology department in the U.S. (many of the people on
these board are at little-known institutions in other countries). In one case
the person said that they were indeed on the board and were OK with it. In the
other case the person did not know that she was on the board. Indeed, she was
supposedly the editor!
Sincerely,
Stuart

Yes, that publisher is on Jeff Beall's list of predatory publishers.

My colleague and I had a paper accepted "as is," which is very unusual, at
least for me. Also, there is a publication fee that must be wired to
Bangladesh. That part is making me wonder.
Thanks in advance for any input anyone may have.
