Beware of a clone version of BANGLADESH JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY !!

How to identify it:

a) Type the words "Bangladesh Journal of Pharmacology" in any search engine (for example, "Google.com"). The URL is other than https://banglajol.info/index.php/BJP or https://bdpsjournal.org/index.php/bjp.

b) Names and affiliations of the Editor-In-Chief and Editorial Board Members are absent

c) There are no "Author's guidelines".

d) Does not provide any DOI number for each article (important for all articles).

e) Motivate the authors to publish their papers as RAPID PUBLICATION.

f) They provide the corresponding author a FAKE ACCEPTANCE LETTER in PDF format or using multiple emails 

journaleditor.bjp@gmail.com; 

bdpharmajournal@gmail.com (be careful)

and provide the corresponding author the bank name: AXIS BANK, Branch: Shalimar, IFSC Code: UTIB0004621, GHAZIABAD, Uttar Pradesh, INDIA for payment, then please don't pay any money to that bank. 

g) Receive money from authors as Article Processing Charge (APC). Special rate (higher) for the Chinese/Saudi authors. Authors are instructed to pay money to a bank account located in INDIA instead of Bangladesh. They give you the Personal account name instead of the "Bangladesh Pharmacological Society" name.

h) They copied our Journal's 

"Aims and Scope: The journal publishes papers on the studies of plant extracts or drugs on pharmacological effects, using laboratory animals, human cell lines, and microbes" in the homepage. But publishing papers on chemistry, biology, and public health (not related to the journal title, as written in the fake acceptance letter). Within the last 130 days, they published 44 papers of any type (including Law, Business, and Computer sciences), of which 32 were withdrawn by authors as you see the irregularity in serial number of pages of each article (first page to last page). Other authors failed to withdraw their papers, as the hijacked journal authority claimed extra money from the authors as a Withdrawal fee. Recently, they stop to reply of the corresponding author's email after getting payment.

Solution:

Please don't fall into this trap (Please do not accept this type of emails). Otherwise, you will, no doubt, lose your money, get stressed, and lose your reputation with your institute/colleagues. At the end of the day, you cannot achieve anything. 

We have constant WATCH on this fraudulent.

If you use the search engine "Google.com" and entering the title of an article published in that hijacked journal, it looks like this

Our strong steps:

The clone version of Bangladesh Journal of Pharmacology does not publish the e-mail address of corresponding author. Sometimes we get their email addresses from Google Scholar. When we request them, they do not respond. Even some of the Institute/University does not take any action to withdraw the paper published from the clone version of Bangladesh Journal of Pharmacology. We decided to make it PUBLIC and will not take any responsibility of these papers.
