Abstract

With increasing development of research and academic centers, the number of research and publishing the results of these studies in scientific journals have been also increased. In the meantime, researchers are trying to publish the findings of their research in journals which have been approved by one or more international indices, so that such findings can be seen. In order to enhance the academic standards of universities, researchers are interested to select proper journal especially those that are indexed in websites such as Thomson Reuters. However, fraudsters   trick researchers by launching fake websites under the names of academic journals. In this paper, we introduce a method to identify this type of journals that will be applicable by researchers in various academic disciplines.
