Be Aware: Three Fake Websites Stealing ODJ Credentials

31 Jan 2025 9:04 AM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

  • These websites use our ISBN number on their site
  • State that they are in SCOPUS but they are not because our journal uses the ISBN # in that database
  • They state that they are peer-reviewed BUT
  • They Accept articles immediately and “Publish” in a month
  • There description is stolen from the ODJ with emphasis on OD&C and Change
  • They publish mostly from hard sciences
  • Charge at least 250 USD for publication

I am letting people know about these fake copies of the Organization Development Journal because I am getting emails almost daily from authors who present an invoice and ask when they will have their manuscripts published.

The Real Organization Development Journal Information:

  1. Our ISBN number is printed in every issue and we are both print and digital
  2. We NEVER CHARGE for publication!
  3. Published by International Society for Organization Development and Change (isodc.org)
  4. The Editor-in-Chief is Joanne C. Preston, PhD 
  5. Submit manuscripts to ISODCODJ@gmail.com
  6. It is double-blind peer-review by Dr. Tonya Henderson at ISODC.review@gmail.com
  7. Our journal is kept within the ISODC member access to the website
  8. There is NO separate website for the Organization Development Journal
  9. We are in many databases listed on the inside cover including SCOPUS
  10. When your article is accepted for publication, you will sign a copyright release form and all Authors receive a printed copy after publication.
  11. We have an Editorial Board that has distinguished people within the OD&C field
  12. We only publish OD&C articles and Change articles – no other fields are accepted.

We have reported these COPYCAT websites but since they are outside of the USA, there is little we can do to shut them down. Our staff urges you to be careful of journals like these online because they are stealing money from people who need to publish quickly to get tenure. 

Authors have reported to me that not only are these fake journals taking money, but they are threatening the authors if they ask for the manuscript back. These are not good people and we at the real ODJournal are sorry about what they are doing and continually report these sites trying to get them shut down.

Before a new writer submits to a fully online journal, please check out the Editor by looking up their credentials as well as the Editorial Board. Be sure the journal concentrates on your field of expertise by looking at what they are publishing not the description. The description could have been stolen.

Your manuscripts are IMPORTANT so be CAREFUL where you send them for publication! 

Wishing you all a good 2025!

Joanne
