Answer» What is Beijing Law Review mean? Scientific Research Publishing (SCIRP) is an academic publisher of presumably peer-reviewed open-access electronic journals, conference proceedings, and scientific anthologies of questionable quality. As of December 2014, it offered 244 English-language open-access journals in the areas of science, technology, business, economy, and medicine. The company has been accused of being a predatory open access publisher by Jeffrey Beall and of using email spam to solicit papers for submission. Although it has an address in southern California, according to Beall it is a Chinese operation. In 2014 there was a mass resignation of the editorial board of one of the company's journals, Advances in Anthropology, with the outgoing editor-in-chief saying of the publisher "For them it was only about making money. We were simply their 'front'." reference
