Fake Paper Accepted by ANNA WORLD '11 - The 2011 World Congress & Expo
This is to report to the research community that the following
conference (http://ariespub.com) organized by John Fisher (may be a fake name) is now proven to be fake in that they accepted a fake
paper:
Name of Conference: ANNA WORLD '11 - The 2011 World Congress & Expo
Location: Anna Centenary Library, Chennai, India
Date: December 1-4, 2011
Conference Web Site: http://ariespub.com
ANNA WORLD '11 - The 2011 World
Congress & Expo in Chennai, India accepted a fake paper in which the first page was copied off of
Wikipedia and the rest was generated using the SCIGEN fake paper generator
(http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/scigen/).
In the review report, they actually say that the author acknowledges in the paper that the first page was copied off of Wikipedia, but ANNA WORLD '11 - The 2011 World Congress & Expo still accepts the paper.
I also believe that the organizer of
ANNA WORLD '11 - The 2011
World Congress & Expo in Chennai, India is using a fake name because while he calls himself Prof.
Dr. John Fisher, he doesn't say at which university he is a professor.
A fake paper was submitted for evaluation using the EasyChair paper submission
system (http://easychair.org) and a notification of acceptance was received from
ANNA WORLD '11 - The 2011 World
Congress & Expo.
