This status records verification concerns and unresolved questions. It is not a legal finding and does not classify every journal in the publisher’s portfolio. Journal-level indexing, fees, peer review, ownership, and preservation should be checked separately.

Review conclusion

SciTech Journals presents a broad open-access portfolio and states that manuscripts undergo peer review. Publicly available pages also show inconsistencies that authors should resolve before submission, particularly the amount and timing of article processing charges, the relationship between the journal website and the registered company, and the legal and postal details used for contracting and payment.

These are legitimate warning signals for further verification. They are not sufficient, without additional evidence, to label every journal in the portfolio as predatory.

Points supporting a legitimate review

  • The website publishes a journal list, author instructions, policies, archives and contact information.
  • The site describes peer review, open access, waivers and author responsibilities.
  • A UK company record exists for the named publishing company.
  • Several journal pages display ISSNs and article archives.

Points requiring clarification

  • The central author page and terms page state materially different APC amounts. The publisher should identify which page controls and correct obsolete wording.
  • The website describes the organization as non-profit, while the named UK entity is a private limited company. Those descriptions are not automatically incompatible, but the legal and financial structure should be explained clearly.
  • The company filing history reviewed in August 2026 included dormant accounts despite an active publishing and conference presence. Authors should ask which entity contracts, invoices, receives payment and performs publishing services.
  • The website lists US and UK addresses, while Companies House shows a default registered address. Confirm the legal service address and dispute jurisdiction.
  • Indexing and preservation claims should be checked for each journal rather than inferred from publisher-wide language.

Example SciTech Journals titles to verify individually

The portfolio includes Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics in Healthcare, Journal of Aesthetic Surgery and Medicine, Journal of Anesthesia and Pain Management, Journal of Alternative Medicine and Therapies, Archives in Oncology Research, Cardiovascular Diseases and Therapeutics, Journal of Mental Health and Behavioural Science, and Journal of Nanotechnology and Nanobiotechnology. These titles are listed here for title-level verification, not as a declaration that each journal is predatory.

Author checks before submission

  1. Request a written APC quotation that identifies currency, taxes, transfer fees, discounts and the point at which payment becomes due.
  2. Confirm the contracting legal entity and compare the invoice details with the official company record.
  3. Check the exact journal ISSN and active coverage in the relevant official indexing database.
  4. Review recent articles for transparent editorial dates, corrections, retractions and substantive peer-review indicators.
  5. Ask for the independent digital-preservation arrangement.
  6. Save the withdrawal, refund, copyright and licensing terms that apply when the manuscript is submitted.
