Publication phishing?

Received a nice invitation today from the American Society for Information Science and Technology journal to submit a paper and to join the editorial board. Sound like a journal you know? Me too but no, it’s not JASIST. It’s ASIST, a previously unknown entity trading a little closely to being over the line, one imagines. Take a look at their web page.   No, they are not even close to American, if the editorial board is anything to go by.  Clever or deceitful?  I expect you know the answer.  What’s next, a new journal entitled Natures? Sign me up.
