Last year, a researcher at a U.S. university received an email offering what the subject line described as a “great opportunity to publish an article.”
The author of the email, Mahdi Shariati, an adjunct professor of civil engineering at Ton Duc Thang University, in Vietnam, said he had read one of the researcher’s papers and was impressed by its quality. “It would be an honor for me to collaborate with you and jointly present your remarkable work,” Shariati added.
1. Guaranteed Publication: I can assure you that our collaborative research papers will be published in prestigious journals with high impact factors. This will ensure that your research receives the recognition and visibility it deserves.
2. Lifetime Citations: By partnering with me, your published papers will continue to receive citations, contributing to their enduring impact within the academic community. Given the reach of my work and its visibility among researchers in this field, this collaboration offers an opportunity for your research to be seen and referenced by a wide audience.
With more than 12,000 citations to his name, according to Clarivate’s Web of Science, Shariati ranks among the most highly cited researchers in his field. He is a frequent referee for journals from major publishers and this year has been a guest editor for both Sage and MDPI.
