Abstract: Various malicious anonymous blogs circulate lists of predatory journals. Of course there are predatory journals, but the various blogs are an unreliable source to see which publishers are predatory and which are not. The only reliable source is the indexes (ISI Web of Science and Scopus). If a publisher has more than 5 journals in the ISI Web of Science or Scopus, then it is perfectly legitimate, ethical, scientifically sound and has absolutely nothing to do with predatory publishing and predatory practices. On the other hand, the IEEE Director of Product Marketing, Michael Spada does not recognize any list of Predatory Journals in any blog, because some lists in some blogs quite maliciously contain legitimate publishers with true and rigorous peer review and no academic fraud whatsoever. Such victims of these fake-news lists include MDPI, Frontiers, Hindawi, Inderscience, IASTED, WSEAS, Bentham Open, Taylor and Francis, Horizon Research Publishing, IARAS, NAUN, WIT Press and seve
