Confusing information about SBP

Hello, thank you for being involved, I would like to share with you some information that will help us to understand the confusion existing for this website. Some years ago, this site was affected or Hijacked by psycholjournal fake website, if you see in predatoryjournals, under letter S: https://predatoryjournals.com/hijacked/#S, you will notice that the website is calling the fake website as SBP Journal. This is wrong information, you can see the issue opened with them in: https://github.com/stop-predatory-journals/stop-predatory-journals.github.io/issues/67 If you see the history, this information has caused a misunderstood. The suggestion is done in order to clarify this. Franciscoangelmtz (talk) 01:14, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, thanks for that. Two points here:

1) That github issue you've linked provides no evidence to back up the idea that SBP is not a hijacked journal. A github issue you have opened yourself is not a reliable source by Wikipedia's criteria. If you are yourself affiliated with the journal and that is why you believe it not to be hijacked, then you should be transparent and say so. I have nevertheless not restored that part now since I do know that Beall's list may be out of date.

2) Regardless of the hijacking issue, the information I placed on the page stating that the journal both charges authors article processing fees and also charges subscription fees is validly sourced from the journal's own website. You have no excuse to be removing that information. I have restored that part now. Please do not remove it again. Mattnwilliams (talk) 01:25, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User:Franciscoangelmtz in addition to my comment above, I see you are an employee at SBP journal. Please read the Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest page. Editing by users with a COI is discouraged, and at a minimum you should be disclosing this when editing. Mattnwilliams (talk) 01:40, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
