 Warning About a Hijacked Social Psychology Journal

I am writing to report a case of journal hijacking and to warn social psychology researchers to avoid submitting papers to the counterfeit journal.

Journal hijackings occur when someone creates a counterfeit website for a legitimate journal and then begins to solicit (via spam) and accept manuscripts for publication as if it were the legitimate journal.

In this case, the journal is: La Revue internationale de psychologie sociale (RIPS) = International Review of Social Psychology, ISSN 0992-986X.

The legitimate version of the journal is chiefly a print publication. It is published by the Association pour la Diffusion de la Recherche Internationale en Psychologie Sociale and distributed by the Presses universitaires de Grenoble (PUG).

The hijacked version of the journal uses just the English title and is located here: http://www.psychologyterms.com/

The journal's authentic homepage is here: http://www.adrips.org/rips/?lang=en (English) and here http://www.adrips.org/rips/ (French).

The PUG website for the legitimate print version journal is here: http://www.pug.fr/theme_et_tag/18/Revues/70/Revue%20internationale%20de%20psychologie%20sociale

Please warn all social psychology researchers to avoid the hijacked version of the International Review of Social Psychology.
