International Journal of Information Technology

Indexed nowhere, possibly lying about being in DOAJ. Fails WP:GNG/WP:NJOURNALS and likely predatory. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 03:15, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete I'am going to agree with you, the creator should not be lying about being in DOAJ and it nowhere passing near WP:GNG. Sheldybett (talk) 04:00, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment I don't think this is predatory (although the name is very similar to a bunch of predatory ones). It seems it is legitimately published by the Singapore Computer Society. Where does it say that it is in DOAJ? --DreamLinker (talk) 23:17, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment I can't seem to find any place where they claim to be indexed in DOAJ. The website does not have the DOAJ logo either. Not sure if they removed it now., could you point to where they have claimed that they are in DOAJ?--DreamLinker (talk) 23:23, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * See DOAJ link above. It's possible they removed the claim after having been called on it. Not super important either way. It's also possible this is journal with the same name as a legit one, but if there is a legit journal of the same name, it isn't notable anyway.

 * Delete. Whether or not they are in DOAJ is irrelevant, because that is not a selective database in the sense of NJournals (they try to include any OA journal, as long as it is not predatory). Similarly, whether or not this is a predatory journal is not very important, because that has no bearing on notability (non-predatory journals can be non-notable and predatory ones can be notable). What is important is that this journal is not indexed in any selective databases and that there are no independent in-depth sources to be found anywhere, so this fails both GNG and NJournals. --Randykitty (talk) 09:27, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
