Fascinating. I looked at the editorial board, and was struck by a question: what are the odds of a board with ten members having three people with the following first names:
Dr. Zainab Fotowwat Zadeh, Institute of Professional Psychology, Bahria University, Pakistan. Dr. Zeenat Ismail, Institute of Business Administration Karachi, Pakistan. Dr. Zeinab Mihandoost, Azad University of Ilam, Iran.

For many of these journals, refereeing/reviewing is minimal and they essentially publish what they receive (when the fee is paid). I was caught in one of these situations a couple of years ago. I still like the paper that was written but I doubt very much if it is will be read or cited much (except of course by me). If you have not yet sent payment, you may wish to be very cautious about going ahead. In case the journal does have some standards you might at least make some more enquiries. For example, for a couple of cases, for journals that I had doubts about I contacted someone on the editorial board because they were listed as being in a psychology department in the U.S. (many of the people on these board are at little-known institutions in other countries). In one case the person said that they were indeed on the board and were OK with it. In the other case the person did not know that she was on the board. Indeed, she was supposedly the editor!

My colleague and I had a paper accepted "as is," which is very unusual, at least for me. Also, there is a publication fee that must be wired to Bangladesh. That part is making me wonder. Thanks in advance for any input anyone may have.
