Vegueta has been hijacked – Beware of fake web sites

The journal Vegueta has been hijacked in recent months by a malicious third party. The fake websites are using the ISSN number, title and staff from the legitimate website’s journal, included original papers published in the original journal. The fake websites are been created by cybercriminals from various fake domain names.

The legitimate journal Vegueta does not charge authors for publication and the papers are open access after the immediate publication of the issue. More information here:

Remember that the submission process of the legitimate journal only uses Open Journal Systems:

https://revistavegueta.ulpgc.es/ojs/index.php/revistavegueta/about/submissions

You can check the original papers published in Vegueta in the last years in Scopus / Elsevier database. Also, Vegueta uses DOI. All the original papers published in Vegueta have a DOI starting https://doi.org/10.51349/veg

If you have received e-mails inviting you to submmit your papers to Vegueta or offering the open access payment, you can be sure that it is a scam.

Please, be aware that your academic reputation might be damaged if you publish a paper in a predatory journal or in a hijacked journal.
